Also, while I was off galavanting around the northwest U.S., it seems that the NewbieNetwork has posted a new tutorial that talks about creating a nice counter script for your site.
And, despite the fact that I can't seem to get to it this morning, DevShed has a new article all about The FastTemplate System that is very popular among many websites. If you don't use it and need a nice template system for your site and don't want the trouble of making your own, be sure to check out this article and see what you think. Thanks to Fquist for helping me keep up-to-date!
