Add a stat counter to your VOX!

Statcounter

I've had a few people ask how I was able to add a site tracker to my vox blog. Ok... this is the way "I'm" doing it. It doesn't really matter to me how accurate it is as far as hits because there really is no way for that work here on Vox right now since you have to add it on every post for it to work, I think. At least, the one I'm using. I don't know. I just care about keeping track of the IP's that visit my blog. I use the same stat counter I use on my main blog and I recognize a few IP's [stalkers] that I really wish wouldn't show up on my VOX BLOG. But whatever. What can you do? Gotta just filter your posts better right? =/ So in THAT sense, it works for me.

Yesturday my stats showed that 293 people visited my blog. I am not sure how accurate that may be but again, if you don't care about how accurate it really is (like myself), try it. I'm using www.statcounter.com. I've been using that for years on other sites I've had. I just create new account for whatever blog I want to embed the code into. Then I get the html code for the "INVISIBLE COUNTER" from there and I insert it to the end of every post. I don't use the "embed" feature because since it's an invisible counter, all you will see is an empty box. I just add it like normal text and then when I hit "publish", Vox asks, "Your post contains HTML. Would you like us to translate this to markup?" and I click yes. Once your entry is published, your counter is not visible... but it's there and it's keeping track of who reads your blog. You just have to log into the statcounter site to view the stats. I prefer for my stat counter to be invisble than to have a graphic or image visible to everyone. But that's completely up to you. I know they have an option to add visible counters as well...

And that's it! It's really easy. =) Good Luck! If you have anymore questions, I'll try to help you as much as I can. I suck at giving instructions which is why I hardly do it, but I'll try my best. LOL
