Webcounter

I've only just started using HTML and was wondering how to insert a hit-counter (preferably one that records unique visitors)

Not possible just with HTML. HTML is static. It'll only display what you tell it to. DHTML is dynamic and is better, but it's not server-side and can cause a lot of problems. PHP or PERL are best.

I wasn't thinking about doing it with HTML, I was thinking more along the lines of a site that provides you with a counter. Like on Homestead.

Try to make your own Javascrtipted Counter, you can edit it how you want as you have to supply the graphics for it... There are some sites that have tutorials on Javascripted hit counters

go to yahoo.com and search for free web counters. then just insert the html code they give you on the page where you want the hits counted.

Here this is Javascript because you can't create a counter in HTML:

<script>

function counter(){

var decrease_increase=-50000

var counterdate=new Date()
var currenthits=counterdate.getTime().toString()
currenthits=parseInt(currenthits.substring(2,currenthits.length-4))+decreas e_increase

document.write("You are visitor # "+currenthits+" to my site!")
}
counter()
</script>
