I have released a new version of my web page thumbnail creator. I modified the UI up a bit and included the thumbnail control within a web browser that I found on CodeProject. I thought this would be better than just typing the URL (or copy/paste) into a text field. Sometimes I found myself navigating around and then making a thumbnail.

Also, I believe I have fixed the “white page” thumbnail issue. I am not quite sure what causes it, but it seems to happen on more “dynamic” sites, such as espn.go.com and nytimes.com. I think it has to do with IFrames and how it is used on that particular site. Either way, I have fixed it so that this problem doesn’t occur as often as it did. You can look at the source if you want more information. (requires Visual Studio 2005).

And for those of you who don’t want to download the .NET framework, I found Webshot, a free Windows app that does just about the same thing as my thumnail maker.
