SVG BlogTimes
Jake Howlett of codestore has a nice suggestion of using SVG to plot the MTBlogTimes bar instead of PNG files. Ya, SVG would be the killer tool, with live feed, animation and interactivity. But I think, SVG support on browsers has been very limited till date (only IE has an Adobe plugin available and Mozilla has a seperate alpha build for SVG). On my site alone, I have about 32% of visitors using Mozilla/Pheonix on Windows/Linux. Probably I should wait till Mozilla comes with built-in support for SVG. MTBlogTimes wouldn’t take much effort to get modified to produce an SVG file. In fact that would be good for the blog community, doing away with the need of perl GD modules. Or maybe I can start working on the SVG version of MTBlogTimes.
