Screen capture software are very useful if you want to capture any images from selected parts of a computer screen and insert them into your website or blog.

With such software, you can practically capture any area of your computer screen i.e. the whole desktop, any rectangular area of a screen or any image on your screen.

I have personally tried a number of screen capture software and I would highly recommend the MWSnap for Windows which is a freeware.

Once it is installed, your will find that the screen capture utility is simple and easy to use.  To capture any or part of the screen or window,  you need to open the utility program first and then the  application which contains the screen (or part of it) that you want to capture or vice versa. Then click of the MWSnap icon to display the utility functions as shown below:

Once you have selected the available options with your mouse (e.g. Fixed rectangle, Any rect. area, Window/menu etc.) click the button at the bottom (“Snap any area” as in this example) and the MWSnap screen will disappear and the screen of the application that you want to capture will appear. Drag your mouse to highlight the area that you want to capture. Double click the mouse once the area is selected and you will be brought back to the MWSnap screen where you can proceed to save your captured image. You can choose to save them in bmp, jpeg, png, gif or tiff format.

With the saved image, you can upload the same to your website or blog.
