A nice way to use css to automatically add icons to denote the type of link (external, popups, pdf, etc.) which is great for usability - no more surprising visitors with pdf or other non-html content.

discusses a technique on how you can determine the file type of a link and display the associated icon beside it (to indicate the type of link) using CSS.

Showing Hyperlink Cues with CSS. A neat way of displaying images next to link to what the link is linking to. So if its a PDF the rules put a little PDF icon in there.

i've started adding these icons to the websites i create which link to PDF or Word documents or use mailto. consistency across browsers is important and this works for all users (to the people who think FF link alert is an alternative).

I wouldn't give this site a good rating for several reasons but the first reason is glaring: On his submission form for his RSS feed he has $1 "donation" set and there is no way to remove it. I think that is tacky, shows poor taste, and ruins the whole site..

A useful "web 2.0" feature for once!
