Hi Martin, agreed, in a perfect world i would parse the log files. But sometimes you don't have access to a cron daemon. Basically i'm trying to get a better idea of how Django works (still pretty new to me), and in this case, how to react on a request. The count was just the first example that came to my mind. :) Anyway, thanks for the pointer to part 4 of the tutorial. I had to re-read it and think i got it now.
