Trouble with website....
Am trying to put a counter on my website and it all looks fine but it's not actually appearing on my site.

Counters
Counters are used to count how many times a website is visited. This can be in total or for specific IP addresses. For example, if you look at the same site 5 times off the one computer, it will only register as having been visited one time only. Counters are useful to see how popular your website is, if it is working and what kind of people look at your site.
RSS
RSS (really simple syndication) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts in a standardised format. Google reader is a web based aggregator which read RSS offline and online.
Technorati
My understanding of technorati is that it is a search engine specifically for blogs. It competes with other search engines such as google and yahoo. Technorati authority is the number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months. The higher the number, the more Technorati Authority the blog has. Your rank is how far you are from the top - the smaller your rank, the closer you are to the top.
I currently have no authority and my rank is 10, 280, 644.

My Webpage
This is the beginning of my webpage ... there is a lot to learn. It is kind of exciting to learn about but frustrating at the same time! I will keep working on it from here on in..
FTP
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a network protocol used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network such as the internet. The disadvantages of FTP are that it is very insecure - passwords are sent in clear text so it is easy for outsiders to access the information. To minimise the risk of this happening, you can use Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). An advantage of FTP is that it doesn't discriminate against different operating systems - it is both pc and mac compatible.
