Whoops!! Thanks Jim Our appologies!! The hit counter we had was from Microsoft and it was only recording the hits to the main index page, not to the individual pages which it should have done. A friend of ours who has hosted the website for us put in another counter and in two months we had recorded over 20,000 individual hits. We had the Bravenet Counter installed but it was hidden as it was also showing us statistics and we decided to check it and it showed over 800 thousand and I had misread it, thought it was 8million 900 thousand!! If you can understand this, our usage log http://www.southernlife.org.uk/stats1/usage_200508.html You are better than me!! This is actual figures for August 2005.
