Web snipping with eSnips

In a comment I read in an eSnips folder, someone asked how to post web snips. Web snipping is one of my favorite eSnips features and uploading web snippets to eSnips is easy and quick.
Web snippets are pieces or a whole web page that can be uploaded and saved in your eSnips account. Instead of bookmarking the entire page, you can capture the part of the page you're interested in and save only that section.
Unlike dynamic web pages that might be altered or go away altogether, the web snippet you saved will remain in your eSnips folder for as long as you want it to.

First you need the eSnips toolbar, which you can download here. After installation, whenever you visit a website and see something you'd like to save, highlight the section with your mouse, click on "Save Selection" on your eSnips toolbar, describe it, tag it and upload it to your account. It's as easy as it sounds!   
You can also save and upload the entire page to eSnips, just click on the "Page" button on the eSnips toolbar and you'll upload the complete page to your account.
You can practice web snipping by following the steps on our "Getting Started" page.

Did you know that you can also edit the content of the web snippet? When uploading the section you chose, click on the "Edit Content" link at the bottom of the thumbnail - a window will pop up and in it you will be able to highlight the text, edit it and more.

Web snipping with eSnips is the best way to save and share the content you find on the web.

People

I found a great artist on eSnips and I immediately wanted to share her work with you. Her name is Jyothy and she is a photographer and writer. She posted amazing pictures she took in different eSnips folders, each deals with a different topic.

The Butterflies folder has rare shots of the small creatures.

Jyothy writes in her Nature folder: "Isn't it magnificent to find a picture in every little leaf, every petal, everything that you see around you?"

Jyothy also took extraordinary pictures of Indian Elephants and Puppies.

My favorite is Jyothy's photos of People. A simple, every-day subject, that always fascinates me.
