CGI scripts for your homepage

Like to add a counter to your Web page, but unsure where to start?  Like
to add a feedback form, but wouldn't know a CGI script if you fell
over one?

Never fear, you can now add both these features to your Web page easily!
Just follow these simple instructions:

COUNTER

To add a counter to your Web page, simply include the following snippet of
HTML:

<img src="cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=login.dat">

where "login" is replaced by your login (eg. terminus, in my case).
You can customise the display of the counter very easily, and you can
also configure it to display the time or date instead of the number of
hits to your page. For full details on how to do these things, visit
http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/Count/Count.html.

FEEDBACK FORM

To add a feedback form to your Web page, simply design the form with
whatever fields you wish to include, and the following mandatory field:

Sender

We suggest using a text box to allow visitors to your web pages to provide
their Sender email address. You can also use the following, if you do not
wish to allow the sender to supply their own email address:

<input type=hidden name="Sender" value="your own email address goes here">

The Feedback Form will automatically deliver the submitted form to your
mailbox. There is no need to include a "receipent" or "to" field.

You may also wish to customise the subject of the emails that you will
receive by adding an additional field as follows:

<input type=hidden name="Subject" value="This is my customised subject">

Then make sure that the <form> tag at the top of the page looks exactly
like the following:

<form method="POST" action="cgi-bin/FormMail.pl">

If you have any difficulty using the counter or feedback form facilities,
and your questions are not answered on the above Web sites, please let me
know and I'll do my best to help.
