Read counts on this demo are sample numbers seeded for the preview. On your site they come from real visits.

NEWS SITE · UNDER THE MASTHEAD

Put it under your logo: a continuous scroll that pauses when readers hover, or one story at a time with arrows. Both rank stories by real reads.

The Harbor Ledger
Portland, Maine · Local news since 1998
ARTICLE PAGE · SIDEBAR

The classic “Most read” sidebar with Today / This week / This month tabs, 7-day sparklines and a Hot badge on the top story. The story being read never shows up in its own list.

TECH BLOG · DARK

The top-story layout makes #1 big and lists the rest beside it. Tabs switch between this week and this month; nothing reloads.

NEWSROOM · WHAT’S MOVING

Heat bars show how far ahead each story is. “Rising fast” lists stories getting more reads today than yesterday — great for catching a story as it takes off.

FOOD & LIFESTYLE BLOG · WHAT’S HOT

The trending score mixes today’s reads with this week’s and gives fresh stories a head start — so a new post can climb past an old favorite. Next to it, the categories getting the most reads.

ALSO IN MAGAZINE BLOCKS

Magazine Blocks (element No. 86) now has “Most read” and “Trending now” sources and a read-count option, so a whole homepage row can be ranked by reads.
