How about a sneak preview?

This morning, I received an email from Fred at Fred Benenson Photoblogt How about a sneak preview? pictures, stating it would be nice to have an image to preview, instead of having to click on each link. I totally agree. Actually, I had this feature in place but did a poor job of letting everyone know about the functionality. The widget which allows pop-up screen shots is called Snap Shots.

So, this morning I attached a brief note above list informing readers to mouseover each link and enabled the Snap Shots icon to appear as a little dialog box to the right of all external links. Simply hover you mouse over it for a quick preview. I am currently working on why some links display text with Snap Shots, and others show images, when all of the landing pages have images. Will keep you posted on that front and let me know if adding the Snap Shots icons was helpful.

For Firefox users, try the new Snap Shots Firefox plugin to use the Snap Shots feature for all your browsing.

A special thanks to Fred for writing in with this suggestion and for the others that continue to comment.
