A Product of my Left Over Creativity
The Internet never ceases to surprise me. Not a day goes by when I discover ten to fifteen new websites with cool content. Earlier during the day, I stumbled upon a website Global Rich List that tells you where do you sit on a list of world’s richest people. I am the 665,441,150 richest person in the world!
The online photo community has a lot to offer, image hosting, sharing, ordering prints etc. PictureTrail gives you that little bit extra that will surely have you ROFL. PictureTrail allows you to not only store your photographs not only as portrait or landscape, but also as flash slideshows (called Flicks). Here’s what I came up with.

If you are a technical writer and have had to review websites/blogs then surely you would have missed a tool that would let you capture the entire web page as an image. Professional screen capture tools such as Techsmith’s SnagIT might be good fr capturing user interfaces, but it’s a real pain while converting web pages into images.

Use the Save As Image extension to save a page, frame, or parts of both. In Firefox, open the website you wish to capture and choose “Save Page as Image” from the context menu (also available via the File and Tools menus).

As you get more familiar with it, you also get introduced to extensions, small add-ons that simplify or add features to the browser. I’ve been using Mozilla Firefox for over three years and feel that I am ready to do a series of posts on my favorite extensions.
My Firefox browser is powered by 25 extensions but I am not going to write about all of them. I will write only about the ones that I found to be most useful.
NOTE: This is the first of a series of posts on my favorite Firefox extensions, so just hang around.
