"Snap" to it!

I ran across this earlier, by accident, but I really like it. It's a simple javascript addition to your page, and then this company "Snap" will snag a preview of the linked site, so that if you hover over a link you will see a popup with an image of the site in it. It's simple, but nice.

Snap Preview

On the downside: I think that type of "link preview" function is way too overused, usually with little thought to usability.

On the other hand, Snap does it pretty damn well...and yeah, it's shiny :-)

Could I talk you into working on the visual layout for my blog? I'm not a big fan of the current one, but I don't really have the time or skills to fix the template.

If I put together the basic HTML structure, could you do some CSS voodo? Dunno if I have cash on hand, but I'm sure we can work out a mutually beneficial arrangement.
