@nixCraft Hehe, webpage counters. I’m not *that* old, though, so this just brings me an odd feeling of nostalgia for the Old Wide Web…and dread for that era of my childhood known as ‘the Great Repression’.
@nixCraft When building my current author site, I wanted some means to track how many visits I got and stumbled across https://hits.sh/ which can produce some very nice graphs for traffic.
So, I customized my website to include a hit counter for the website itself and one for each page/grouping of pages, then made a little HTML file to display the graphs side by side, in frames.
My website ( https://owentyme.us/ ) is all static HTML built with bash scripts, using no Javascript.
