FireShot Firefox Add-on Takes Screen Shots & More


I ended up all but giving up on DashBlog for adding new posts to this blog. It doesn't allow you to preview and edit the post before you submit it, and it kept posting to my personal blog when I told it to post here. Rather lame. I realized all I really needed was something for screenshots, and I could use the Send To: Blogger option added by the Google Toolbar for creating the actual post. This eventually led me to the FireShot Firefox Add-on.

FireShot is a Firefox extension that creates screenshots of web pages.
Unlike other extensions, this plugin provides a set of editing and annotation tools, which let users quickly modify captures and insert text and graphical annotations. Such functionality will be especially useful for web designers, testers and content reviewers.
It's possible to choose whether entire web page or only visible part of this page should be captured.
Screenshots can be uploaded to server, saved to disk (PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP), copied to clipboard, e-mailed and sent to external editor for further processing.
[Emphesis added.] I liked that it could upload to a server. I hate hotlinking to images b/c not only is it morally questionable (if not objectionable) but you never know if the image might be taken offline.
