Taking Website Screenshots Using Screengrab!

I used to take screenshots of websites with Print Screen and then in Photoshop crop the part that I wanted to keep, but I always figured that there had to be a better way. So after I installed Firefox 3 I went looking for good extensions and I came upon Screengrab! created by Andy Mutton. This excellent Firefox extension lets you take a screenshot of a selected portion of the page, what is visible on the screen, or the whole page scrolled down all the way to the bottom. This last option is fantastic when you need a screenshot of the entire page, which might be several screenfuls all the way to the footer, and there is no cutting and pasting involved. The extension automatically removes all of the browser chrome from the image so you will not see the navigation bar and tabs at the top or the scrollbar to the right. You have the option of either saving the screenshots as PNG or JPG images, or copy the image to the Clipboard so that you can paste it in your favorite image editing application.

Firefox 3: Download Day 2008

June 17th is a day I have looked forward to for a while now, it is the day when the new Firefox 3 web browser from Mozilla will be released, and also the day when I will start using Firefox 3 as my primary browser. The launch is going to be really big, in fact, it is going to be record-breaking. Mozilla will be trying to break the world record for most software downloads in 24 hours. So if you are interested in participating pledge now and remember to download Firefox on Tuesday! I will probably be writing about my experiences with the new browser, so stay tuned.
