This one is interesting. I like the idea, though I personally wouldn't use it (except here). It doesn't really list the "top sites" but only those pages willing to "clutter" themselves with this image. However, you can use it to count your daily page accesses.
One of its purposes is to sell advertising, of course, but at least you get something in return, unlike the "vote for my site" type of page.
See my version of the rank 'em page if you want to see a creative adaptation of using the code used by the many of the "Top ## Sites".
I have purposely made some design mistakes, to help you understand the problems they cause.
DON'T OVERLY ENHANCE THE PAGE Perhaps "encumber" or "bog down" would be better words. | Be tasteful! Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it should be done. Some enhancements are . | Remember what the purpose of your page is. | Many pages I see remind me of when Macintosh computers first came out and users would send me letters using about 25 different fonts. | ![]() ![]() |
---|---|---|---|
Please use ALT, HEIGHT, & WIDTH code with images. Some users can't view images. The HEIGHT & WIDTH code speeds up layout. | The code required for the enhancements increases your page's filesize. | ||
Don't make wide tables. 450 pixels or less is best. This table width is 130%, just to show you how irritating it can be. |
