Added a Hit Counter to This Blog

I added a hit counter to this blog. First I changed all of the file extensions in the blog from ".html" to ".php". Then I imported a file called "simplehitcounter.php" into the "web" folder. The file contains the php code that I posted yesterday. Then I created a new custom tag "HitCounter" with the following contents, and included it in the main page template just above the <$Copyright$> tag.

Edit: I should have mentioned that the Copyright tag is also one of my custom tags. It goes at the bottom of the "contents" ID and before the "links" ID in the template.

Here are the contents of the new HitCounter custom tag:
