Browser Statistics
Thursday, August 7th, 2008 by adminThere was once this website that tracked browser usage statistics and everyone linked to them and then they just went and disappeared :/ Oh well, it happens but when it does then what? Well I decided the other day that this information is still very useful when trying to develop a good website or to make additions to our users experience for with the current one. That evening I wrote a small application that uses an embeddable image that you place in your web page. The image lets us know which browser each visitor is using giving us a general idea of browsers that we want to make sure we have tested. It is also just interesting to follow people’s choice in browsers so it is really just that simple. If you would like to add to the statistics just embed an example image from below into one or all of your web pages and away we go.
You could also just link to the chart image on “one” of your webpages if you wanted. Either image tracks browser usage. or follow the examples below that show how to change the image color so that it can fit your websites theme. Color values are RGB 0-255. Be creative. We use it as a bullet in the footer of the asylum-et.com website.
