Alan. Unless I misunderstand what your saying . . . The link we provide wrapping the graphic: <a href="http://winksite.com/index.cfm?emulator_popup=3719">http://winksite.com/index.cfm?emulator_popup=3719</a> (as well as the mobile link to your site <a href="http://winksite.com/cogdog/doghouse">http://winksite.com/cogdog/doghouse</a> actually takes you to the WINKsite homepage AND pops up your site in emulator view (emulator_popup=3719 passes your Site ID to a script on our homepage, the mobile address is also mapped.) Perhaps pop ups are turned off in your browser? By keeping the frameset info on our site we can make universal changes to the emulator/desktop version layout. Why? Today for instance we are launching a choice of skins for the emulator and the frameset size is changing. If everyone "slurps" that code and embeds it on their own site we would have to find everyone and ask them to change it. What a hassle for you guys. Right? Anyway I hope this makes sense. If you want we can chat about it on AOL IM, ICQ or the like. Would be happy to straighed this misperception out. Oh and the reason I can to you weblog - Thanks for the mention and welcome aboard. Every voice is important. Cheers, Dave Harper Hmmmm. Alan. Unless I misunderstand what your saying . . .

I forgot I had the pop-up blocker turned on. However, consider that many people are using blockers, so some suggestion may be needed on the Winksite home page. You are correct, David.

The whole pop-up thing has it's drawbacks with pop-up ads being such a bother these days (too bad - we added skins today!) We're looking to provide a standard weblog version as an alternative. The pop-up started off as a way for people to get a better idea of what they could do from their mobile - it has since migrated to a collaborative space - mobile-to-desktop-to-mobile - so some changes are surely in order. Also, have you had a chance to play with the "embedded" version that can live in your sidebar? Right on Alan.
