In the text input field below, you can type a small identifier specifying a "key" for the counter you want to use. The actual key is unimportant, but if you want two different pages to be connected to the same counter, the links on the two pages must use the same key. The key should not contain any whitespace. If you do not supply a key in the input field below, the key will effectively be set to the URL of the page containing the link. That is, by leaving the key field blank, you wind up with a counter link that actually acts as a seperate counter for each page you put it on. Note: counters with identical keys may cause some hits to be missed due to client-side caching.
Below, you can select whether you want the GIF generated to have its borders cropped right around the text, and whether you want the background to be transparent. (If the background's not transparent, it's white. The text is always in black.) The default is to crop the borders and use a transparent background.
Leave borders uncropped Use opaque white background
