Everyone should add a counter to their Registry Set

onlyroosies · November 22, 2005 6:05AM

I think this is way cool. Check out my Washington Set. Zach (zkcoins) showed me how to add a counter in my discription so I can
see how many people have visited my set. I have photos of all my coins and would like to know if anyone
really looks at them. This is a feature PCGS should have...

What do you think?

MyWorldCoinTypeSet · November 22, 2005 6:20AM

I like it. How is it added?

PTVETTER · November 22, 2005 6:56AM

I would like to know also

onlyroosies · November 22, 2005 7:16AM

I followed these directions from Zach. It took a little doing to find the links but I made it work.

Just go to a counter site like andale.com. They offer free counters and many other features like image hosting if you need that.

Once there, sign up with them, and go to counters. They push ebay stuff a lot so you have ot search hard to find a link that says:andale web counters right below your ebay "items i'm selling"

Click that link and it takes you to your web page counters. Then right below where it says web page counters, clikc create new. You will be given the choice to name your counter, and choose a style of counter.

then click continue. This will bring you to a page with counter code for that counter. Copy all that info and paste it in your description for your registry set. Here is a sample of the code:
<center>

Let's see if this code will show up correctly:

<div style="padding:5px; font:9px Verdana; text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/counter/"><img src="http://count.digitalpoint.com/" alt="Free Counter" style="border:0px; width:88px; height:19px;"></a></div>

Thanks for the code Russ.

docday2003 · November 22, 2005 9:04AM

I tried it, but it gives a reading in the 2million+ range already. What am I doing wrong?

onlyroosies · November 22, 2005 9:28AM

Everyone that adds a counter post a link to your set.

rainbowroosie · November 22, 2005 9:31AM

Nick,
You have some nice coins in that set!!! Why is the 54D a 66???

onlyroosies · November 22, 2005 9:35AM

Bill, Dispite the slight rub on the cheek I don't expect the coin to remain a 66 for to much longer.

zkcoins · November 22, 2005 9:56AM

Nick here is a link to a few of my sets that I added counters to:

my 2004 mint set

my 2003 mint set

and of course my 1980 mint set in my sig line.

If anyone has any troubles adding these sets to your registry just pm me and I will be happy to help.

Zach

PS I really love that set of yours Nick. I look at that set at least once a month!

onlyroosies · November 22, 2005 10:34AM

Put me down for 1 on each of your sets Zach... My set has had 60 hits since I posted this thread

I know, you have an amazing set Nick. I hope my feldge-ling tonded washington set will blossom into one that can boast some of the same colors as yours.
I have a great start but have well over 75 coins left to go.

Each counter needs a specific code to work individually. By using russ's code you are using the same counter. Your code will look similiar but have slightly different numbers.

Onlyroosies, your Washington set is fantastic some great toners there. Added the counters to all my sets as well. First tried another brand but it didn't stay on the site for some reason. So added the andale counters to my sets. All registry owners should add this feature until the new upgrades next year are added. Thanks to Russ for the recommendation to adding them to my sets. Mike

Everyone should add a counter to their Registry Set
