Does anyone know where I can find a tool to create a thumbnail image of my website's homepage ? I want to use it on blogs etc. Thanks, Mickmac

You can try this http://www.snap.com/

Hope this will help you.

Ok, so there goes the self promotion...
I've designed this myself:
http://web-screenshots.com/demo/

Try it, and tell me what you think of it.
For now, it just sits there, doing almost nothing because the server is not able to cope with a high level of requests.
But it works, as long as you don't try to make 5 screenshots at the same time...

There is a demo account for webmaster-talk users.
The login email is shot@wmt.com and the password is _wmaster_
I just added credits to this account for 2'000 webshots.

I haven't tried it because I'm not sure how I could take advantage yet. But I wanna pipe in and say Tripy is a mad scientist of the web. Any programming the guy does, is of the utmost quality.

Shhhht, don't say things like that John.

I'm serious when I say the server is underpowered for that app.
In fact, the memory and disk I/O are too low, because it's a XEN virtual server, and I suppose the server is very much fragmented.

But leasing a 1u server is too costly for what I do now, and except if I can find 3/4 peoples to lease it with me, it will stay like that for some times....

But I like the mad scientist...
Always up to blow the house to smithereens (or reinstalling the whole server(s) because I've screwed them up testing alien technologies)...
Yep, that's me....

For Mac users, check out "Papparazi" - it's free

I had a look at www.snap.com, but not too sure how to use it. What is the benefit of putting it on my website ? Anyone had any experience with Snapshots, or explain to me how to use it ? Thanks for the replies, Mickmac
