Full Etsy Treasury Screenshot

If you create a treasury or one of your items is featured in a treasury, chances are you're going to want to take a screenshot to post to your Facebook fan page or on your blog.  When you google "how to take a screenshot," several options come up.  Some allow you to capture everything on your screen, others allow you to capture a specified area.  

For all you Mac users, here's how to do what I just described.  
For the whole desktop:  command, shift, 3
For a portion of the screen: command, shift, 4.  Then you'll be able to select any portion of the open window or screen.  

For all you PC users, you're going to have to google it yourself.  I didn't need to know that :)

Here's the problem (this will help Mac and PC users):  you're not going to get the whole page and some of your treasury is going to be cut off.  Not cool.  Just see my previous treasury posts.  You'll see that the last row is cut off and it's not pretty.  

Thumbalizr.com to the rescue!  Here's what you have to do:

1.  Copy the treasury url.
2.  Head over to Thumbalizr
3.  Enter the target url into the space provided
4.  Select page instead of screen
5.  Wait for the website to generate your shot.
6.  Download and enjoy.
