Go into edit journal (*click*) and in the section that says "About you" (the mini-biography) you can put the code in you userinfo anywhere you'd like to show up... I have mine at the top. Make sure you copy the whole HTML code that StatCounter gives you.
It will say:
<!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->
----code for your counter here----
<!-- End of StatCounter Code -->
You want to copy and paste everything it says.
You can also put this information in a journal entry to see who visits your actual journal becuase more people visit your journal than they do your userinfo page. Only when the counter is visible will it work... so when your post moves off your front page it won't be able to gather data until someone goes back entries on your journal. You could also do the future date (like my recipe collection) if you wanted to keep it at the top and PUBLIC so it'll work for everyone. (I don't think there's a way to embed it directly into your journal (other than userinfo) so that it's always on your front page... if there is it goes way over my head into programming LJ layouts.)
Oh, and you can use the same code in as many places as you'd live. For example, if you had a different web page you could put it on every single page of your website, as well you could put in an LJ post and in your LJ userinfo. Just go back to where you have your code typed and copy and paste it in as many places as you'd like. It will keep one tally for every place the code is viewed under your single account name.
