ö Snap Previews of links This morning I was over at Web Pages That Suck's Biggest Mistakes in Web Design 1995-2015. By Vince Flanders' lights, root.cellar sucks in many ways! For instance... 2. A man from Mars can't figure out what your web site is about in less than four seconds. Hahahahaaaa! How about a regular old earthling? One thing he talks a lot about is letting visitors really Know where a link out is going. He doesn't mention it, but he implemented this cool, free javascript which brings up a Snap Preview of the site linked when the visitor rolls over the link. It doesn't slow down initial page load, so I decided to try it. It's gifting season, so in a shameless bit of self-promotion I snapped what happens when you roll over my turtles all the way down Cafe Press store Some links don't work with this, for instance my affiliate links, like Orbitz travel, that start with "click.linksynergy.com", but hey! Roll your mouse over the links in my blogroll (scroll down, lower right) to see this script in action. permanent link #     ^ TOP ^  what is this place?
