There is no higher pleasure, for me, as a blogger to know that my blog is being visited by people known and unknown. As much as I enjoy writing these entries, it's always nice to know that people read them.
So,curiosity got the better of me on last weekend and i knew it was time for a hit counter on my blog. So I Search on Google. As it so often does, Google comes up with links full of information. In short, this is what I understood.
1. The good news first. Hey, getting a counter on your site is easy !
2. In the old version of blogspot, you had to go to one the "counter" sites, create a login id, chose a counter and then point it to your Blog address. What's more, the site will give you a piece of HTML code and you need to paste it in the HTML source of your blog.
3. You an in for an easy ride if you are writing blogs now. All you need to do is to sign in to blogger, go to the layout section, click on "Add New Gadget", select a hit counter and Bingo!, you have a counter on your site.
Easy for the new age Blogger, right?. oh, How I wish all these fancy stories they tell us were true. Sadly, they are not. Blogger has some gadgets which appear to be counters, but on adding them either I get an empty white box or a box with a random number. The gadget section is filled with count of people in Malaysia to global counters to count down to Doom's day but not a single decent hit counter.
Okay, So much for the great gadgets, it's back to basics. So, I went to Netbb.com a website which has a clean interface and offers a good counter as well. 10 minutes and one HTML copying-and-pasting later, I have a counter at the bottom of the site. Job done !. It may not the best solution. Sites like Google Analytics offer lot more, but all I want is a counter, so it's just fine.
This short experiment took place on last Saturday. Looking at the counter today makes me a happy man. 82 Hits in 7 days. Even if I assume that I visit my site 4 times a day on an average, that leaves nearly 50 hits on my site in 7 days. So, If you are planning to have a blog, having a counter might be a good idea. Each hit clearly inspires you to write more.
