You might have noticed seeing preview pop-ups of web links on a lot of 'web 2.0' sites in the past few months... Many of them are powered by a service called Snap .

Snap's free and can really make browsing a lot quicker - especially for sites where people are navigating through sites with focus on what they look like, rather than what they're saying... I could see Snap really help out anyone who blogs about other people's photos on Flickr or whatever other online sources, for example.

You should be able to simply use Snap by copying a tag from snap.com into your J! template, but there's also a nifty new plugin which allows you to change the display settings whenever you want plus avoid site navigation being previewed...  We've installed this great Joomla plugin on whyjoomla - pass your cursor over an external link to see what the hype's about, then head over to J!ED and download the plugin for yourself :)

An Excellent Joomla Book
written by Ed Detlie, July 06, 2007

Check out LearnJoomla, by Mike Lloyd. Lloyd is a web designer and consultant in London and operates www.artonezero.com. He wrote an excellent book, which is available as a .pdf download for 19 British Pounds, or about $35.00. The first three chapters are free, and it's tremendous. Go to www.learnjoomla.co.uk. Some joomla books are treatises, this is more of a cookbook, step-by-step, including the most indispensable extensions.
