LinkPeek Web Screenshot Service Getting started

Syntax:

Instant webpage preview on hover

This is my favorite effect!

Syntax:

Include the linkpeek stylesheet in your head section,

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/m/css/linkpeek.css" >

then create your web link as follows:

<a href="/api/v1?uri=russell.ballestrini.net">
  russell.ballestrini.net
  <img src="/api/v1?uri=russell.ballestrini.net" class="linkpeek" />
</a>

Result:
