Blimey, you do like your tables, eh?
The CSS Tables Gallery is now online for the first week, and I am pretty speechless as to the success it has been. The statistics show that on average about 5800 people clicked the gallery and added up to 22000 hits.
The server, donated by NWU in Germany, had 3.2GB of traffic in the first 9 days of this month, compared to 4.6GB in the whole of August.
While in the first days the referrer stats were ruled by the WaSP, Peter-Paul Koch and raibledesigns, they got soon pushed down the list by cssbeauty and devilsdetails. Today the Germans came back with a vengeance, with Doctor Web publishing a newsletter that lead to 260 visits.
I am really happy that the idea became such a success and hope for more good styles to arrive and NWU not going mental about the traffic. After all, I now have to pay for the counter service of statscounter, as I exceeded their limits of a non-commercial site and now have mint running, pounding the server even more :-).

Blimey, in that table there is no col/colgroup at all, this leads to an incomplete sample of what css can do with table, fixxit!
Soon I’ll be sending my design too.

Madness, this is true, basically because not many CMS would create col and colgroup for you and not all browsers allow styling of those. I considered it a much more real-life example without them.
