Tumblr Hits
I have been playing with tumbr blogs and began wondering if anyone ever actually visited the sites; So, I decided to add hit counters to the sites. I believe that this is an ideal application for SVG. On January 29, 2014, I put a counter on each of the sites. Since then, my tumblr sites have had 31,917 views Since January 29, 2014. Why, that is 6.856 hits per day!
This confirmed my suspicions. Most Tumblrs view posts via the control panel and not through the web sites proper.
As for why I created my own counter. Many of the free counters have excessive user tracking. I simply wanted a counter that incremented wiht each page view. The counter on the pages looks like this:
Since I designed the code in SVG, I can resize the counter to fit any container.
Holding to the spirit of Open Source Program: here is the PHP Code that produces the counter.
