Difficulties in installing a counter on web site

[#1]

I have been playing around with trying to get a counter on my website and I am having no luck at all.  Here is the code I copied from Plusnet
style="vertical-align: top; width: 1030px; background-color: rgb(17, 22, 17);"> 
           
       
           
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<big><big><big><span
style="font-family: Segoe Script;"> </span><span
style="color: white; font-family: Segoe Script;">Sheila<br >
     < br >
     <img
src="http://homepage.plus.net/cgi-bin/count_elect?photoplus_ss ">
     <br >
     </span></big></big></big></td >
   </tr >
   <tr >
     <td =""></td >
   </tr >
style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(17, 22, 17); width:
1030px; height: 47px;"&gt;
 </tbody >
</table >
<br >
</body >
</html >
I really don't know anything about HTML.  I am using Komposer as you can plainly see from the rubbish design.  But, it's simple and I am hoping it will help my wife get her books off the ground.  I need though to get that counter going so as we can assess the hits.  I can't get the <img src to stay on the same line?
