We know I amuse far, far too easy… so I have a question. Take your mouse and scroll over the name of the book.
OK no one said anything about this… le sigh… so I am thinking I am the only one who thought it was tres cool.
And I have tried, tried and tried again to get it to work with just the picture doing the nifty linky thing. But no such luck. Really and true I have no html skills. Those question posts took me from around 4:50am til 6:00ish to get the format right. I should be ashamed to admit that but I am happy with how it turned out so score.
anyhoo the question is do you find that the scroll over title (like in this post) is slowing down the blog loading
Thanks! ::note to self… time on the blog is still screwed up::
Hi Sybil I do like that thingie (for lack of a better word) you did. I’m not sure if it’s because of it but yes it does take some time for the blog to load….
I’m on cable so not so much for me – I like it and much of what other do on their blogs makes me feel inadequate 😉
CindS
It’s not working for me. :-/
What’s it doing? I use FireFox and nothing happens.
Works for me, but I’m on DSL and Safari. No extra load time at all. 🙂
Hugs,

I like it – but I normally read blogs using feed readers, so the covers wouldn’t show up unless I actually come to the page. And nope, it doesn’t slow down the page load times (but then I’m on broadband). And I don’t actually visit Amazon.com much, because I’m from the UK.
Errr… so to summarise, I think it’s cool but doesn’t actually add much for me 🙂
Alison – it brings up a link to Amazon, showing the cover, price, avg customer rating and a Buy It Now button
it’s cool. but the load time is the drawback for me. but it is cool.
I think it’s awesome, and there doesn’t seem to be an extra wait time for me. I’m on digital.
I’m lost????? What’s it supposed to do?
You place your cursor (Mouse) over the text of the title. Not the cover, but the text and a little popup box shows the amazon info.
Um, it’s not working for me either, must be a Firefox thing. But that would be cool! 😉
oddness I run foxfire at home and I have no problem seeing it… well in the title
I have given up on the cover. Such is life and all that 😉
Ahhhhhh. OK – I see it now. That is cool!! Thanks Jane. I was going nuts thinking “What am I missing??? What am I missing???” I was doing it over the cover.
You are suppose to be able to do it over the cover but I can’t figure that out :(. So oh well. It just dawned on me yesterday that ALLLLLLLLL my guest author day recaps are fucked. And have to be relinked.
And the format in so many posts is off… not to mention all the categories are off. So I just spent a few hours doing shit most people won’t even notice cuz I am anal like that.
I noticed the scroll over the link thing this morning. (I’m a little slow)
What a cool trick! I love it!
Load time, schmoad time, I’m on cable.
