Today's Did You Know about those 88x31 banners: The size traces back to Netscapeโs 1995 Netscape Now! promotion, which rewarded webmasters for displaying an โauthorizedโ browser badge on their site. In the Wayback Machine, the website shows that the button appeared on Netscapeโs own site in 1995, and GeoCities picked up these in 1996.
