How do you post a page counter on the Home Page. I tried copying and pasting the link, but that doesn't work. There must be a trick to it. Please be specific, I'm not too savy. Thanks.

You can use any of the many free page counter sites out there to put a page counter on your home page. Most will give you a simple bit of HTML to copy/paste to your page. Doing a Google search, here are a few:
http://www.easycounter.com/FreeCounter3.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
http://www.e-zeeinternet.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
http://www.website-hit-counters.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
NOTE: We do not endorse and have not used any of these... they are just examples of the many that are available... if other users want to chime in with a page hit counter, feel free.

What about Google Analytics? They want a scrap of javascript in the <head> section of the page. Pasting it into the HTML of the team site home page doesn't seem to work.

have used a couple all newbie friendly.
http://www.website-hit-counters.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(it can send you an email weekly of results, but when running multiple team sites, it is hard to discern which site is what in their email summary)).
am testing HTML only version at
http://statcounter.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(have to log on to see stats, but has simple graphics)
have not tried google analytics, but i could see where it would not work well as the html editor only edits is in the <body> not the <head>

When I cut & paste the code into my home page, just the code appears - no counter, no nothing. It is probably something simple?

Try clicking the little HTML icon in the upper left corner to put yourself in "HTML edit mode". Then paste the code into that view and save. When using the Visual editor, it converts everything to pure text. When copy/pasting HTML snippets from other places, you need to be in HTML mode.
