Who needs Sitemeter? Or Statcounter?
Look!
Up in the sky!
Is it a gif?
Is it a Javascript?
No!
It's MUNU COUNTER!
Just add this to your templates in the appropriate place:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://counter.mu.nu/count.js"></script>Stand up and be counted!
<noscript><img src="http://counter.mu.nu/count.gif" border="0"></noscript>
Unfortunately, right now only I can see the stats, but I'll write I have written a little script to publish them periodically at counter.mu.nu.
Do we install this in our templates and then it will count all the hits from everyone in MuNu? If so that's sounds like a cool idea.
Pixy: Go check out this post over at Margi Lowry, please sir.

Posted by Susie at March 26, 2004 05:09 PMIs there supposed to be an image displayed in this code somewhere? I just installed it in my index template and no image???
Posted by Madfish Willie at March 26, 2004 05:18 PMDitto what the Barkeep said above....or is it a magic, INVISIBLE counter?
Posted by Susie at March 26, 2004 05:22 PMNo, it's entirely invisible. But the stats at counter.mu.nu should update every two hours.
Posted by Pixy Misa at March 26, 2004 05:22 PMDang.
There's a slight problem here, in that viewing the stats page skews the stats.
I might move the stats page somewhere else... But not right this minute.
Posted by Pixy Misa at March 26, 2004 05:51 PMFYI The stats are showing up, but I still have no image in my sidebar for the counter.
Posted by Madfish Willie at March 26, 2004 05:51 PMin the template, do i put this between the [head][/head] thingies or down at the bottom near the [/body] thingy where my sitemeter code is located?
Posted by annika at March 26, 2004 11:21 PMIt goes in the between the <Body> </Body> tags.
After looking at your site, I would suggest putting it right below your sitemeter. There is no image or anything so there won't be anything displayed in your sidebar; it will just add your visitor stats to the group totals.
If you need any more assistance, drop me an e-mail.
Posted by Madfish Willie at March 27, 2004 12:24 AMI put it in (I hope.)
Uh, would I even know if I messed up while doing it? This invisible stuff kind of lacks in the validation department.

Pixy: as part of your wonderful offer should the only rule to be part of Munu be to add the Munu roll to each blog? And perhaps this counter too. It's not much to ask and lends itself to a common bond, plus it boosts everyone's ecosystem rankings. Not that that's what we're all worried about...right?
Posted by Simon at March 29, 2004 02:38 AMSimon - Right. 
Every Munuvian should have the Munuvian blogroll on their blog. That way, every new Munuvian is instantly a Flappy Bird - and at this rate, an Adorable Rodent pretty darn soon.
The Munu Counter helps me work out the overall hits across Munu, which ties into the next stage of Project Mu.
Debbye - you should show up in the stats within four hours if you got it right.
