You may have seen that I have stopped putting the little counter at the foot of new pages. This is because Microsoft are discontinuing the service from 15th February. "Starting February 15th, 2007 the counter on your Web site will stop counting new visits and you will no longer be able to sign-in and view reporting through your control center. In May, 2007 we will stop serving FastCounter by bCentral Web images. In place of the counter, a broken image will appear on your Web site unless you take steps to remove the underlying HTML code."
