But how does the counter get incremented? I know how to write a script
that will read a number, save it to a disk file, incriment it, and save
it back, but how does that script get triggered whenever a page is
accessed?

Yes. Always. Whatever the server returns is the full html page. With

I've seen methods where there's a simple line in the HTML code (like what
Ted Wood showed in his reply) that merely inserts text into the a line,
without having to assemble the page in parts; that's all that I'm trying
to do.
I can't believe that it has to be as complex as some of the responses
I've been getting make it out to be.
