Screen grab to WordPress is an add-on for Firefox and it adds a context menu for copying, saving and posting screen shots directly to any WordPress blog.

You can download it at Firefox's add-on website.


Screen grab to WordPress! :: Add-ons for Firefox

The add-on installed as usual and when Firefox had finished restarting the add-on manager window popped-up and I went to Options.

There was no README so I just assumed it wanted the most common and basic information. I replaced url with http://0zz.org.

Now for a test drive. Right-click the web page and "Screen grab! with Online Upload ->" appears in the context menu. You can Save, Copy or Post. I went to Post -> Selection.

The page goes red and you can select the area you want to capture.

The Screen grab! post window opened and I dropped some sample text in and clicked, "Choose."

The post status appeared in the bottom right corner in the status bar of Firefox.

Unfortunately, I got a script error; but it was an easy fix.

"XML-RPC services are disabled on this blog. An admin user can enable them at http://domain.com/wp-admin/options-writing.php"

I want to my WordPress Admin page -> Settings -> Writing. XML-RPC needed to be enabled.

I saved the changes and did another Post -> Selection and this time it worked. In fact I used it to create most of this post.

Oops, there is a problem. This is not compatible with the new version of FireFox 3.5.
I just tried.
