Hi wildfang and welcome
The question I can answer is how to add a counter, please see this thread
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,24883.0.html
Not sure about your other questions except that in the past I have had problems when I have not downloaded the images from the file manager where my site is held to the actual live site.
I am sure some of the experts will know better!

Hi
Sorry to add, I have just reread your message and see you have probably read the link I have just added.
Have you got your code brackets all in the right place? If the code is showing rather than counter is sounds like one is missing?? <html code> - example

Hi again Wildfang
I'm a semi novice too, learnt by experience so BB or anyone please correct me if I am going completely wrong.
I think you should have a folder called images or such like in the file manager where you put all your images and downloads in a folder called download. You then upload those folders to the live site. When you add an image to your webpage it should then link to its place on the live site.
I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
Kerry

Hi
Kerry is right, to "reach" anything on your website, whether another page or an image, you need a link to it.
a link for an image could look like this
<img src="file-name.jpg"> but that is the absolute minimum. You will probably need other parameters (attributes) too.
see also Topic: TIP: Adding images (and 'thumbnails') to web-sites
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,47486.0.html
Another point: on your home page and "contact" page you have your e-mail address.
Not a good idea, because of SPAM-robots (spambots)
see Topic: TIP: putting an e-mail address on your web site
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,47479.0.html
or even better, why not add a form, for people to e-mail you, direct from your site

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,91843.0.html
Lots more tips here:

What program are you using to build the site ?

And some more:
when I hover on "Summary of Findings" the address "http://rush-grimwood.rootschat.net/summary of findings.doc" appears.
spaces in names are a No-No 
The reaction you are noticing is the RootsChat equivalent of the dreaded "Error 404: Page not found"
rename your file summary.doc, and rename the link to it, and try again.
this should then give your visitors a .doc file for downloading.
Bob
ps could you re-instate at least one picture link, then we can see better what's up 
We'll get there, don't despair

Well done for getting on line with family Historian 3.
Just keep asking questions - I see you have some photos succesfully loaded on some of your family pages

Hi WF,
just had a look at the source code for your home page (right mouse click, and 'view source text')
and I see you have
<img src="_h1_St Andrews. Hornchurch 11.JPG" alt="home page picture">
again, spaces in names are a No-No
Try again, this time without spaces, and better still, all lower-case.
e.g. _h1_st_andrews_hornchurch_11.jpg
RootsChat uses a Linux server which is not as tolerant as Windows when it comes to file names, so as a general rule:
no spaces and all lower-case.
If you have lots of images, you might want to create a folder img or images and keep all the images together (as Kerry suggested)
your tags will then look like this
<img src="./img/_h1_tt_andrews_hornchurch_11.jpg" alt="home page picture"> etc.
or
<img src="./images/_h1_tt_andrews_hornchurch_11.jpg" alt="home page picture"> etc.
