Snap Preview

Filed under: Blogs & Blogging — Longrider @ 16:08 pm

I notice that I am not the only one irritated by those annoying little pop-up previews that have started appearing on Wordpress blogs. It’s called Snap Preview and is designed to give a little preview of the page linked to in the text. Except that it then obscures what I am reading, is too small to be of any real use and is highly irritating.

According to the producers:

Snap Preview Anywhere provides high quality link previews for site owners to add an informative and sticky experience for their users. And it’s free!

Anyway, there is a means of disabling them even if the site owner has not

Here

If you have a Wordpress or Typepad blog and this is set to “on” automatically, do your readers a favour and switch it off… please…

It is possible for you to switch them off so that you don’t see them on any site (although it requires cookies). Here

They have been driving me loopy for a while now.

You have my gratitude for the offlink. (Half life of 100 days before I forget) :D
