customizing Snap Shots

I've been playing around with Snap Shots for a few days, and I finally think I have it customized to my liking.

Snap Shots plugs in automatically to Blogger, so it truly is a "snap" to use, but it was adding Snap Shots to my del.icio.us cloud, my post footers, and everything, ad infinitum. It was not pretty. And, as a newbie to all of this, it took me some time on their site to find and decipher their FAQ.

Anyway, here's the q&d of how I customized Snap Shots for this blog:

1. Create an account and install on your site. (These directions were relatively straightforward - especially for Blogger, where everything was automated.)

2. Under advanced options, only check the boxes for:

• "Show Snap Shots Link Icon" (I have no problem with supporting their branding.)
• "Trigger Snap Shots on Link Icon Only" (That way your readers can choose whether to view the Snap Shot. Otherwise, if you have lots of links, it can be annoying. Sorry.)

3. Do NOT check the box for "Enable Snap Shots for External Links"

4. When you post and want to include a Snap Shot for a link, edit the html by inserting "class="snap_shots" between the "a" and the "href", like so:
a class="snap_shots" href="http://www.snap.com"

Voila!
