Description jrojcek 2006-05-23 14:46:20 UTC 
When the mouse is over a link in the welcome screen, the URL of the selected link should show up in the 
status line. When the mouse moves away from the link, the URL should disappear. Just like in a browser 
window.

I think this is a useful feature of web browsers and I found myself looking into the status line to find the 
URL for "All BLOGS". I think more users are used to this behavior and would expect it also from the 
welcome screen links.
