OK, terribly documented, but it works...this is just the source for a little HttpModule which tracks hits to a .TEXT blog - pretty simple but should give anyone who wants to do it a start. I'll post a more complete version at some point (mainly just want to test how this skin behaves with posted code ;-))

As usual, this needs an entry in the web.config to hook in the module:

<httpModules> <add name="RequestLogger" type="ExtraControls.ViewTrackModule, ExtraControls"/> </httpModules>
