novice needs help

Am trying to get a counter working on my home page. Thing is, I'm using a template design that allows you to cut n paste html in to pre-formed building blocks. When i paste this code (for the counter):<br />
<br />
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://www.htmlcounter.com/?ref=script" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.admo.net/php-bin/counter.php3?id=script&dd=36" BORDER="0" alt="This counter provided for free from HTMLcounter.com!"><br><br />
<font face="Verdana" size="-3">HTMLCounter.com</font> </a><br />
<br />
...in to the window it comes up with "& nbsp" showing on the finished page.<br />
<br />
I think I have to have a head and body code and put the counter code inside the body, but I have no idea what that code should be or what I do or don't need.<br />
<br />
I'd appreciate any help with this.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />
<br />
Al<!--content-->from the looks of it,I can not see anything wrong with the code you posted,there might be something else thats screwing up your code,better if you post more code<!--content-->Thanks for the reply.<br />
<br />
That's the only code I have. I've tried other codes for counters, they all work except for that damn "& nbsp" thing appears.<br />
<br />
I think it's to do with the page builder that helps you build the site that i'm using. It just asks you to insert html or a picture or text, or whatever.<br />
<br />
The counter code is meant to go into existing pages--I don't really have that.<br />
<br />
That's all I can say--which might be completely wrong;)<br />
<br />
Thanks again<!--content-->Make your page first, then open the page in notepad and paste it in just before the </body> tag at the end.<!--content-->Dave, there's no way I can do that with the kind of bespoke web site builder program that came with the template I bought(was from Network Solutions).<br />
<br />
Each page has building blocks and each block is like a page in itself. Effectively, I need the code for a single page with just the counter inside of it.<br />
<br />
If i was doing that, would this be correct, or something similar?<br />

<br />
Can you or anyone fill in the blanks?<br />
<br />
Thanks again, really appreciate the help.<!--content-->I think you need to enclose it in something else.<br />

<head> <br />
<title>Title to go in bar at top</title><br />
