Are you a king of code? Want to design your own thing? You can also get the unstyled HTML code and style it yourself. The code which will be written will be in a DIV element with id "Twitter Counter". Simply include the following code in your HTML and start styling away:
<!-- Start of Twitter Counter Code -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://twittercounter.com/widget/index.php?username=TheCounter"></script><noscript><a href="http://twittercounter.com/TheCounter">TheCounter on Twitter Counter</a></noscript>
<!-- End of Twitter Counter Code -->
Some hosted blog services don't allow the use of scripts like the ones offered above. Just for you we have a simplified snippet of code. Here it is:
<!-- Start of Twitter Counter Code -->
<a href="http://twittercounter.com/TheCounter" target="_blank"><img src="http://button.twittercounter.com/static/?username=TheCounter" alt="Twitter Counter for @TheCounter" width="88" height="26" border="0"></a>
<!-- End of Twitter Counter Code -->
