Have you ever wondered how for example The BlogNet Team get images of bloggers blogs and get them on the site?

The answer is we use screen capture tools. Some are easier than others and as many of you might know there are free tools and paid tools.

I for one I am not very technical minded and if a tool is too complex to use, then I will dump it.

I tested out some of these tools for you, all tools take practice to use, but as the saying goes, if I can do it so can anyone.

Kwout (quote)

There are a few ways to make Kwout work for you when using the screen capture process. There is a firefox extension and by bookmarking it. Kwaout will host the screeshots on their own servers, or you can upload the images to any photo file sharing service such as Flickr. This screen capture tool will preserve the hyperlinks in your screenshot through image maps

FireShot

I have to say that Fireshot is my favorite tool to use. A Firefox Add-on,that is easily downloaded It is easy to use, it makes streamlining and consolidating screen captures a breeze. Once you have created the image you want, you get the different codes, such as HTML, Direct Links, codes to use in forums or emails.

Screengrab
Screengrab is another Firefox extension that puts an icon on your status bar at the bottom of your screen. When you click this, you have the option of copying or saving the complete page, the visible portion of the page or selecting the part of the page you want.
Regardless of which tool that you use, remember that there are rules and regulations to capturing any screenshot. If you are unsure what to do, let the owner know that you are using their image and show them what your are doing. Doing this just makes sense and the added bonus is that you will create a good working relationship with others on the net and even create a link for yourself.

To Your Success,
