+If you wish to use this on your webpage, you need to add a couple lines. First, a "tracking pixel"
+that registers the current page's view:
+
+``` html
+<img src=http://localhost:5000/hit style="visibility:hidden">
+```
+
+Then, some javascript to retrieve the hit counts:

+``` html
+help I don't know how to javascript, we need to get http://localhost:5000/hits/all (or 'day' or
+'week'), and that will return the number of recorded hits for this page for that time period.
+```

-TODO!!!
 
 It uses the `referer` header to get the page it was called from, and uses that as the key for
 counting the hit.
