I don't have a guest book on my site, as I reckon that people who are interested will email me. Many have done this, with just nice comments sometimes.
As to a counter, I included this just to check if it is being viewed. Whether it is being visited because of the postings I put on the relevant lists etc, or whether it is being found by search engines, I can't say but it is nice to know that there is an interest.
Results 11 to 20 of 20

As to a guest book....like you, I rely on emails, of which I have had quite a few, for contact or just to say thank you. There are `for' and `against' for everything, and I think it is up to each person to select whatever suits them.

Re counters.
(1) You can have invisible counters, if you feel your visitors may not like them.
(2) I use counters from an external company - just as well, as I've changed ISP four times in six years. The external counters are free, and I get super statistics. It's useful to know your visitors' browsers, screen resolution, etc.

I posted near the beginning of this thread saying that you might need to use the counter provided by your ISP, but I'm interested in these external counters, Mary. However, how do you choose? Google lists dozens of them, but how would I know that they're reputable and aren't going to unleash nasties on site visitors (or me when I go to set it up)?

I used to have one visible counter on my home page, it had a direct link to my stats. But my son told me it was "naff". so now they are all invisible.
I can log on anytime for my stats., or wait for the weekly email.

At the time I started my web site last year, I was completely green (still am) and hadn't any idea how to go about getting the information `out there'. For me, Rootsweb has worked, but if this forum had been around earlier, I may have tried something different based on members' experiences.
