It has happened to all of us at one time or another. We visit a website and find an article we absolutely must eventually read, but later the page seems to be gone. Or, we want to cite a page from an online article in a column or school assignment, but a few weeks later the article has been edited. Or, you find an article that features someone in your congregation that you'd like to share with that person, but when you print the article it looks nothing like you think it should.

In situations like these, screenshot software can be just what you need. A screenshot is just an image of a web page or portion thereof. If you've ever looked at a software tutorial online, you've undoubtedly seen screenshots. Recently, a new online tool, Aviary, has made the process of taking screenshots of entire web pages (and not just the visible portion, as many other tools do) a...um...snap! The videos on the Aviary page do a great job of explaining what their tools can do (which is a LOT more than just screenshots! Aviary can take and edit images, edit colors, edit vector images, markup images, and even edit audio.) And, amazingly, you can do it all for free! Aviary was even named the #1 underhyped web application of 2009 by Lifehacker.com.
