How do I put a tally counter on a webpage?

I hope I used the correct terminology in the question. I haven't made a website since maybe 2004-ish, and even then I was using stuff like Angelfire and Microsoft FrontPage. But now I want to make a very simple website, consisting of one page with text and a counter. The counter should only be able to go up, never down, and it should go up by one each time a person clicks on it. Is there free code out there that I can just copy and paste onto my page, like hit counters?
If not, can someone who knows what they're doing maybe help me with this project? MeMail me and I'll tell you what it's for.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Hey, what you have hear is an Ask question and a Jobs ad - they don't go well together. Go ahead and post a Job if you want (it doesn't have to be paid) - it looks like that will meet your needs better anyway. -- restless_nomad
Response by poster: I was afraid of that. :( I have no idea how to do Javascript or PHP, or what any of what you said meant. So I guess that brings me to my second question: would anyone be willing to help me do this?

if the idea is that users are voting (or you can frame it that way) then it looks like there are third party solutions like this (from this search).

Here's a decent solution on Stack Overflow using Javascript and PHP. You'd have to modify it to do what you want, but this is the basic idea.
