Hit Counters

Here si a newcomer question. I have a hit counter on a page and it was
working fine but when I do any change to the page and then save it the
counter goes back to 1 and does not update. I can change the properties of
the component and say reset to 6445 and then save but nothing every changes
on that counter. Is there a good procedure for making changes to a page with
a hit counter so that it does not go back to 1 every time and also continues
to update when people access the site? Is it really necessary to Publish the
page every time a change is made? When I make text changes or anything and
save it displays just fine. Thanks for any info on this.

Open the site live. Make the desired changes there. They reside on the
server, not the files on your computer's hard drive.

Well now I will sound really dumb but anyway, what do you mean by open the
site live? How do I do that versus just the open and go to the htm file on
that servers hard drive? Thanks for your response on this!

After checking it out I did figure out what you meant by open it live and got
the counter reset to the last count and is updating again. Thanks!

Open the site live. It means to open the server side site instead of
the client side site. Open the http://xxxx.com site instead of the my
documents\my webs site. Open the site that you publish to rather
than the site you publish from.

And of course, you don't publish to the live site when you open the
live site because you are already there. You just save your changes.
