webcounter won't count

I put your page through the W3C Validator to get a look at the source - I
don't see a FP hit counter here:

Because your hit counter is improperly installed.
It is pointing to your C: drive:
<!--webbot bot="HitCounter" i-image="2" i-resetvalue="0" i-digits="5"
u-custom startspan --><img
src="_vti_bin/fpcount.exe/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/default/My%20Documen
ts/My%20Web%20Sites/mysite/?Page=quacksplace.htm|Image=2|Digits=5" alt="Hit
Counter"><!--webbot bot="HitCounter" i-checksum="24819" endspan --></p>


Open the "server" version live in FrontPage, remove the hit counter, save
the page.
Reinstall the hit counter, save the page.

Now, when I clicked the link you supplied,
why I had to go through whatever I went
through, to get to:
http://members.cox.net/libbo1/quacksplace.htm
is a tad puzzling, because 15 seconds to open a web page
on a DSL line so I can finally be redirected to your home page
is a bit much.!!!
You're going to loose people before they ever get to your main "site"

Hmmm - that explains why I didn't see a hit counter on the URL s/he posted

thank u both very much . . . and appreciate ur comments about the flash intro!. Page is 'under construction . .

Im new to FP 2003. I inserted the counter and published the page . . . dont know why its path was wrong. I will uninstall it and try again

Hey i know u guys are very accomplished @ webdesign. Im learning!!!... lol i think i did pretty good with that canned flash intro!!! I ultimately plan to have a couple of live nice quality webcams of aquarium shots as a lead-in to product marketing

For now i gotta learn more 'bout webdesign . . . and this darn counter is in the cross hairs for now!

You're off to a nice start.
Some food for thought.
<imho>
Keep your index or Home page fairly simple and
"quick to load" because you have about 20 seconds
to capture the interest of the "average" visitor.
If they are forced to wait, and/or wonder what is being
"loaded" on their machine they will close the page and
go elsewhere.
So, give them some information, let them choose what
to look at, and also let them know that what they are
selecting may take a few seconds to load.
And when designing your web site, envision yourself as being
on the viewers end of the "cyber" spectrum, behind a 56k modem.

</imho>
