add a counter, a good one both winmxcommunity and i use http://www.onestat.com
Thanks for the comments Layzie, I will add a counter, I was actually planning to get one from Xtreme Tracking, but I will look into OneStat. I know the logo doesn't look great, but it's all I have at the moment. I'll see what I can do about it though

not saying the logo is bad but it looks grainy becuase it's saved in GIF format, GIF only supports 256 colors, thats why you get all that grain crap...
you only have the forums, or so you have non forum pages, like index.html or something... it took me to jmstacey.net when i tried to do that...

my mom said someone was looking for me, sounds like it was you, but who knows, if it wasn't you then i know who it was, if it was what ya need
When I saved it, I saved it as gif. I didn't save a backup as bmp or another high quality format 
So it looks like I'll have to try and make it again, which I'm not looking forward to
