Get your hints in headline form...

One of the more frequent requests I get is for a "headlines only" hints page -- a ton of hints per page, showing just the title (clickable, of course) for each hint. I kept putting off the project, as I thought it would push my limited PHP skills.

But while putting together the Tiger Hints page (well worth a visit if you want to see all the 10.4 stuff in one place), it dawned on me that I could quite easily (by changing one query) create said headline hints page. So, without further ado (and not a whole lot of testing!), here it is:

Headline Hints

You'll see 100 hints per page, with just title, date, and number of views. By default, it's in reverse date order, but you can change that easily using the simple sort interface. As noted, this page hasn't been extensively tested, so please let me know if you see any problems with the output. At some point, I'll figure out a good spot to put this on the main page, but for now, this is your notice -- bookmark the page for future use.

Also, we're running our sixth browser wars poll, which are always fun. So take a minute to cast your vote, and encourage others to drop by as well -- I'd love to see a large sampling on this one. In the last go-round, Firefox was making ground on Safari, and it will be interesting to see if the trend is continuing. In putting it together, I was amazed to find there are (at least) 14 browsers available for OS X, not counting those that run through X11.
