Of course you are right Theo - I have to admit I haven't really caught
up in this rapidly changing world ;-)

As you have pointed out most of the modern counter software now
available allow access to server log information as well.

May I thank all who responded - I have settled on the excellent
Sitemeter suggested by Ian. This is just what I need - inconspicuous
and can be tailored to my requirements - counter ignores hits made by
the website owner - brilliant and provides a host of other stats.

Andrew - www.owlart.net doesn't show the counter in NetSurf (r13329).
A small icon is shown instead of a counter when accessed on a PC with
Firefox, 9.0.1.
