“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776
“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)
“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

One more try for Snap Preview Anywhere

Some new options are available for Snap Preview Anywhere that made me decide to give it another try.
- First, there's an option to use a little preview icon instead of the entire link to trigger the preview. That doesn't get in the way of clicking on links. That was one of my problems with it in the first place.
- You can choose your own color theme with the service now. This makes it easier to blend the previews into your site's existing theme.
- You can make the script load after your page completes loading. This is a plus in case their server is offline, because you won't have to wait for the load of their script to time out before your page renders.
- You can add your own logo to the preview bubble.
- You can give users the option to turn previews on or off.
I haven't started using the last two options, but I've tried out the other three. I'm not totally sold but I think it's an improvement.
There are still some problems with it. Hopefully they'll address them soon. I still get this little annoying popup whenever I use it on my site in IE 7.
I sent them the exact location where this blows up on my browser the last time I had their script installed. It doesn't look like they've worked out a fix for it yet. If they don't come up with something, I'll take it down again. I don't like broken scripts.
