Snap shots for the links on your web site.

Snap shots is an online service that generates and shows a preview of web sites that are linked on your page. Each time the mouse cursor is moved over the link there appears a preview window. To use the service you should go to Snap shots web site and proceed four steps. First of all you configure the look and feel of the preview window, so that it stays in harmony with the desing of your own site. Then you are asked to enter the url of your site and your email. In the third step you get the link to the script file. And at last the link has to be integrated into your code. There are actually several ways to do this. On my site I just added the link-tag to the header. For the users of WordPress it is possible to download and install the Snap shots plugin. How to do that please refer to the plugin site.

I installed Snap shots on i-gorod several hours ago just to see how good it works. Well, in general I’m quite satisfied, but in details not that much. The loading process of the preview can take sometimes up to 5 seconds. That’s of course a disadvantage. Several times the preview just was not loaded, so that the preview window was white. After refresh Snap shots functioned again. If the enumerated aspects bear a constant character, I’ll have to take out Snap shots from my site.
