Have you seen the Open Source Ministry Forum lately? Here, I have a picture of it for you.
In the past, when I had to do longshots of web pages it typically meant using “Print Screen” several times and then fixing it up in Photoshop. For this one I used the snissa Firefox extension.
My first try uploaded the entire front page of the blog (all 988 x 6245 of it) to the snissa repository. THen I realized that the other option was to save it straight to my computer.
This is great for portfolio pages, showing problems in html rendering, saving pages for later viewing, critique markup, understanding differences in page width, comparing markup changes, and catching Googlebot visiting the forum.
Page width depends upon how much viewable area you have for the web page. The reason why the blog image in the snissa repository was 988 across is because I had Sage open in the sidebar. Without Sage the width is 1261px.
I also found that web page changes made by other extensions show up in the image. I had the Web Developer Toolbar outline all block level elements and those lines appeared in the image.
