This script presents the user with an acknowledgement of their previous visit in the following format:

'Welcome back visitor! Your last visit was on 30 October 2008 13:06:52'

If this is the visitor's first ever visit, the following text is displayed instead:

'This is your first visit to this page. Welcome!'

This can be a nice way of personalizing the page to individual visitors, and perhaps even gently pointing out to the visitor that 'it's been a while' in certain circumstances. As well as displaying the above date message, an additional piece of text can be added onto the end of the message, as shown below:

'Welcome back visitor! Your last visit was on 30 October 2008 13:06:52 - Glad you've decided to return and check out this month's offers'

• Font Size - Choose the size of font that you would like the last-visit message displayed in, by clicking on the drop-down font size selector and then by selecting the desired size from the list of options. You can chose anything from 6pt - 72pt.
• Font Color - Select the font color by clicking on the browse button to the right of the text box.
