Michael, Happens to everyone.
Anyhow, I have a small website for a group that is just a simple hand-coded page and a pdf file for download. I have been asked if it is possible to add a visitor counter and a download counter (This page has been visited ## times, This file has been downloaded ## times) to the page. I don't need any kind of tracking or anything, just a raw count of page accesses and file downloads. My coding skills are passing fast, and I'm looking for something really simple. I did a quick search and everything I see seems to involve complicated databases and analytics. I want KISS.
