Snap and Guam

December 16, 2006
I’ve been spending most of time working on my dcblogs.com project, but want to turn more attention to this blog. I’d like to develop a list of Guam-focused blogs and other resources.
Since I live in Washington DC, I may focus some of the content on the site to DC-related news and events that affect Guam. I’m also in the position to search for Guam specific material at the Library of Congress. I live about two miles away so really don’t have any excuse.
Check out this new Snap plug-in that is very, very neat. Move your cursor over some of the links to the right and it brings up a fairly sizeable screen shot image.
This is the first time I’ve worked with it. Whether I’ll say the same in a few months remains to be seen. Sometimes new plug-ins brings a initial gush of excitement, and then become problematic.
In this case, I’ll be wondering whether Snap’s popularity – and I suspect it will take off in popularity big time – will slow its ability to serve up its mini-screenshots. And will that affect loading times on the page. No answer, but right now I don’t see a downside to it.
