My counter is working, but where do I enter text?

[DVCajun]

I'm thrilled to have attained this level of success, since I'm a technological idiot, but I haven't reached quite the point of actually using my counter!! How do I enter text? I used the HTML code posted by Stu, and it obviously works, but must have missed another set of instructions or something.

Any suggestions out there?

Thanks xxoo!!!

Well you are almost there. Actually you are missing some pieces of the code and it is messing up the board when your post is displayed.

In the &ltparam name="background" value=".... you are missing one number at the end. There should be 4 numeric values followed by ">&lt/applet> So it should end like this...

&ltparam name="background" value="http://www.yoururlhere.com/sub/something.gif, 1, 1, 174, 25">&lt/applet> You may have to play with the numbers to get the result you want to see.

If you want text, it will need to be part of the background image.

Please be cautious when coding! Make sure you close all tags/marks. You can disable the boards if not carefull.

Also, you should have a Mod check your code BEFORE using it in a signature.

Mm-- did not know that.

I think this code is ok at this point, thanks to you and Bob. Right? Is it ok to use it now?

Please post it again in a seperate post with "For Mod approval" as the title and I'll look at it. I'll even place it if you want.

I'm not quite ready yet-- I'm going to change the graphic and add text. I may even drop the whole project. But I will do that before I add it to my signature. Thanks again.
