Show visitors the last time they visted

Author's Comments

Look carefully for specific instructions

Here's a script(That i believe uses cookies) that can tell your visitor(s) the last time they visted your site. The original code i found was hard to input cstomizations like the specific text that can be displayed like " you lazt visted on__" etc etc.

SO
If it's your visitor's first time on your site then you can edit what it says in the source code below where it says " FIRST VISIT DISPLAY HERE"

IF
if they visit for a couple more times you can record their last visit which will be displayed as you wish, just change " VISIT DISPLAY HERE > YOUR LAST VISIT WAS ON . You can move the [displaydate] code, but make sure its on the same line to insure that it works right. (not unless your some javascript master and feel you have the right to move it wherever you want)

Script Code

Copy and paste to HTML
