Well maybe not hot, but The High Contrast is definitely generating some heat. The picture above was generated by Feng-GUI and is a heat map of our blog that displays the areas of primary visual interest on the page.

The Feng-GUI heatmap service is an automatic alternative to eye-tracking. Unlike eye-tracking or click-based heatmaps, Feng-GUI creates heatmaps based on an algorithm that predicts what a real human would be most likely to look at.

This service has natural applications for web designers as it will help to analyze their layouts to see where the eye is being drawn. These findings can then be used to better lay out the key information and navigation.

The best part i sthat it is available for free and can be downloaded as a Firefox plug-in.
