Personally, I do not use Wordpress, but Expression Engine. However, I just googled a bit and it seems that the functionality was removed from Wordpress due to performance reasons... (?) It seems like you have a live comment preview plugin such as <a href="http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/LiveCommentPreview" title="link" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. Thanks for the feedback, Hamish.

I've posted my thoughts on your blog. P.S. Assuming you use Wordpress, how do add a preview button. (I'm guessing it's a plugin, eh? I haven't looked, what do you use?) Thanks Dominik!

Personally, I think that a screenshot would be enough, yet I think we have to work on how these sreenshots are preserved and stored. A while ago I came up with concept that I call <a href="http://squawkdesign.com/weblog/comments/designing_the_next_big_web_app" title="link" rel="nofollow">Graphical Bookmarking</a> and I am currently working on implementing it. It will take a while before anything is functional, cut I would love to hear what you think as you seem to have the same problems/demands as me. P.S: I like your site a lot. The only thing that I am missing is a Preview button. That is exactly the problem that I had with Archive.

Hehe, I thought Google Reader was stuck in a time warp or something. Anyway yeah, design-wise screenshots are great. I mean, It would be pretty cool to put together an evolution of some long-standing website with just a few mouse clicks. And as time goes by (and the web gets older) this would become increasingly more valuable and interesting. Oh, thanks for clearing that up!

Re: preserving navigation, etc. Actually my thought was that, for most sites, just a screenshot of the homepage every month would be good enough -- at least enough to preserve the design (which is where that post was biased towards, more design archival than content archival). I just really want something that preserves design on the web for all time, and screenshots (of both Flash and non-Flash sites) would work so well, it's sad there's not something like that out there.
