edited February 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
over at ma.gnolia (social bookmarking site) when you add a link it automatically displays a thumbnail of the site you just added.

what i wanted to know is if anyone knew how it's possible to do this and if they could point me in the direction of some info.

    We have implemented something similar at work. Its a shell script that launches a chromeless firefox and takes a screen shot. I will ask my coleague on Monday.

    You could also get firefox 1.5, install the PageSaver extension, then use the command-line switch '-savepng'.
