I just tested it with Opera 9, IE7, and FF2.... They're loading it here just
fine.

Have you tried it? IIRC visibility makes the element invisible but the
element still takes up space and affects layout.

CSS 2.1 Spec says:
"The 'visibility' property specifies whether the boxes generated by an
element are rendered. Invisible boxes still affect layout (set the
'display' property to 'none' to suppress box generation altogether)."

However, browsers have been known to skip loading any images falling
under a display:none rule. Thus using display:none will hurt your
stats. Forcing the image's dimensions to zero does not have this bad
effect. That explains the recommended CSS rule set.

If you want, you can try this instead:
img#wpstats {
width: 100%;
}

On http://andyskelton.com/ it really ties the page together.
