Expect to see some resolution this weekend.
I've also added a FeedBurner feed for comments, which you can subscribe to at:

![Optimize Your Links For Print Using CSS — Show The URL]()
When moving around from page to page in your trusty browser, you get the benefit of hovering over links and viewing the link's target URL in the status bar. When it comes to page printouts, however, this obviously isn't an option. Most website printouts...
