Care to share how you're doing this? Instrumenting webkit server side?
Edit: Just discovered a ruby program that can be installed with homebrew on OSX (brew install webkit2png). It's a command line call that does the same as this web service:
webkit2png http://www.google.com webkit2png -W 1000 -H 1000 http://www.google.com
(Sorry OP, don't mean to take away your thunder, just thought others might want to try this too.)
(edit) The cropping is because I've started with a 600x600 image, so taller sites will be cropped. I may add different image sizes as options.
Also I'm thinking about adding an editor with Raphaël. Other ideas are welcome.
One of the use-cases (for me) is to be able to quickly send a link to a screenshot to someone (technically challenged) with a button or something circled in red to explain "this is where you need to click".
(edit)I'm aware this can be done with command line, it's just that most people don't know how.
It is more actively developed, and written in C/C++.
2. You use `mailhide` in the Contact Us, what is the point? (I think some people who wanted to give you feedback might be scared by the ReCaptcha)
1. I'll look into the debug log for that page.
2. The point of reCaptcha is to thwart automated email harvesters. In any case I'll setup a proper "contact me" web form.

Some bugs to be worked out, but cool nonetheless :)
