May 2012 | Page 2

Reading a blog is so much more interesting when there are pictures with it.  I took a look around to find a quick and easy to use screen shot program that would let me grab a screen shot, crop it and easily add it to my wordpress blog.

I found Jing and it works great.

How it works

After installing the program it shows a yellow ball at the top of the screen like this.  To make a screen cap, click on the ball and it shows cross hairs to select the area of the screen to capture.  Once the area is select it crops the image and the option to upload or save to a computer is provided.

To add the screen shot to a blog, I save the image to my computer and then add it to a page or post like any other image.

Here is an example screen shot I took while typing this post:

The tool allows the user to quickly and easy make a screen shot and add text borders or images to it.
