I clicked on a random link there and got sent to a page of Christian spam. Don't waste your time here.

  bayareaguy: What link, please? I'll remove it immediately. Just post it here or send me an email from the site. thorax: Thanks for the submission and compliment.

    The one in the CSS section labeled "Airtight Corners" leads to http://www.airtightov.com/lab/airtight_corners.html http://www.airtightov.com/lab/airtight_corners.html Free Christian Personals Online. View Photos, Chat, Email & More! Ok.. I just tried a few others which seem to be ligitimate. Sorry for the quick reaction. I guess I just got "lucky" the first time.

      Beginner's luck, obviously. At work, atm, but I'll dump that phony link when I get home. Thanks for saying something.

    hats off to you for making this

    The one right below it, "Annotating images with CSS", is also just an ads page.

    No problem-- saw it on metafilter, thanks for going to all that trouble.

Someone's been busy. Now that's what I call sharing. Thank you!

How often do you go back and look at aggregate sites like this one?
- kirubakaran 19y ago
  I bookmark such sites using Google toolbar and go back all the time. Don't you?
- thorax 19y ago
  It depends. In this case I saw a lot of topics I know I'll need eventually, so I'm likely to go back and see what those pages had to offer before I Google away.

Thanks for the notes, guys. I cleared out the two crap links. I'll try to stay on top of it as much as I can. It's easier with the help, so that's been good. I want to add a ranking to the outgoing links, like a number by each link that's how many times it's been clicked. Anyone have any tips on how to proceed?
- nanijoe 19y ago
  perhaps let each link have a counter, and use a javascript 'onclick' event to update that counter? How are you storing the links?
  - wmeredith 19y ago
    They're just html list items. I'll look into the on-click event.
