It’s pretty popular and frequently ranks well among web designers and web programmers. Alexa* ranks it 1,081 among all websites on the online.

About a week and a half ago, I was checking out their latest articles, when I discovered a familiar looking image in their article, 10 Useful WordPress Hook Hacks. Sure enough, I checked out an article I wrote on T&S’s blog back in 2008 about checking your website in multiple browsers.

So why do I like it? I figured out the reason they used it is because it currently ranks #2 on Google’s search results for the phrase browser logos. So it’s a nice statement to our search engine optimization skills over at T&S. And since I’m currently doing all our optimization work myself, it’s a testament to my personal SEO skills.

Yeah, I’m pretty awesome.

* If you’re not familiar with Alexa, they’re somewhat like the Nielsen ratings, but for websites.
