Weblog snapshots

Here are ten weblogs displayed in “thumbnail” style in their entirety. Oh, go look for yerselves. What I want to know is how is this done? You see this type of thing in glossy web design books and the like and I always assumed they’re made up of a number of screen grabs stitched together in photoshop, but the immediacy and disposability of this page implies their might be a quick way of creating them. Either that or someone has too much time on their hands. Any ideas?

(I’m interested because this strikes me as a really good way to analyse why a particular site works well)

    The brief commentary suggests that the screenshots were grabbed by hand, rather than by a robot, then slung together with a bit of HTML. Or is that not what you mean?

    No, I was was hoping there’d be a groovy little app that automatically creates them. Shouldn’t be hard though I’d understand why no-one’s bothered to make one.

    There are products such as HTML2JPG.com that do this sort of thing…

    That’s the sort of thing, but it’s a PC program. :(
