Oops

Having technical difficulties with Kopic's news'bots right now so I will work on a workaround until it gets around to working. The problem is that the news feed isn't getting updated with the latest news on a regular basis. Sorry for the inconvenience!

In the meantime, you will see a different version of the news in a scrolling window thingy.

Apologies

Kopic sincerely apologises, especially to younger readers, for any unwholesome content that has been picked up by Kopic's news'bots recently. It seems that "Torchwood" is now a word that they use in their attempts to get past filters and to be picked up by otherwise innocent online searches.

Kopic is attempting to improve his filtering mechanisms to compensate.

Visual Previews of External Links

As I'm always looking at ways to improve your news reading experiences I just installed a nice little tool called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, and more.

Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.

Enjoy!

Expansion

I'm expanding my blog to cover all my news sites. You've probably noticed that line at the top of each page which links to them all. This is part of my efforts to bring it all under the one umbrella of "Kopic's News Network"
