Do you ever need to take screenshots for your blog posts? If you blog about anything technical, or if you want to show readers step by step how to do something, then screenshots are really handy. Lightshot is a free screenshot tool that lets you select part of a webpage—very handy if you don’t want a screenshot of the whole thing.
Here’s Lightshot getting an awesome screenshot of my Blog Title Generator:

17. EditAnything
EditAnything is another great tool if you’re taking screenshots. You might want to demo something without showing your actual account details or data—and that’s where EditAnything comes in. It lets you change pretty much any text on any website (obviously you’re not changing it for real—only on your screen).
It can be pretty fun, too. I tried it out on my Contact page:

I don’t really have ten trillion monthly readers, of course. Here’s how the page really looks:

General Purpose Chrome Extensions
There are quite a few invaluable Chrome extensions for bloggers that aren’t blogging-specific—but that can save you a lot of time and hassle. Here are my favorites.
18. LastPass
LastPass is a password manager service that stores your passwords for you. The LastPass Chrome extension lets you save and autofill passwords on any site you use. This can speed you up a lot if you’re having to log in to multiple different sites each day.
