So I'm relatively new to Bitcoin, and I was quite confused as to what a miner actually does, what the difficulty relates to, and so on. I decided to put a quick site together to demonstrate what is meant by the "target", and how a block is regarded as "found" relative to the target.

I called it the obvious, Bitcoin Target: http://btctarget.com/

Check it out, let me know what you think, and particularly let me know if it breaks or falls over. Thanks!
Cool little site.  Where are you getting the random (red) numbers?
