two easy questions

Hi,

I know that I've seen these before, and I have searched the archives, but to
no avail.  Would someone please  tell me how, or point me in the right
direction for:

1) I need to have a counter on my page that doesn't show, but so that I will
know how many people have accessed the site.

2) when updating the site, I want the content to be fresh for repeat
visitors.  I thought I do this by using :
<META HTTP-EQUIV=PRAGMA CONTENT="no-cache"> in the head, but it didn't work
when I went back to look at it... any suggestions?  Would I need to have the
page refresh each time they visit? - and how do I do that?

I subscribe to the digest version, and some responses get lost in all of
that, if you wouldn't mind e-mailing me direct I would really appreciate it.

Love & Laughter,

Fey
