ScreenGrab to WordPress is an experimental Firefox extension that not only lets you grab screenshots of web pages but will also upload the image for you to any WordPress blog.
You can select the entire page, the entire visible area, or a custom area for the screenshot which can then be copied to the clipboard, saved as a local imaged file or can be published to WordPress as a new blog post.
This extension appears to be based on another useful extension, Screengrab, so the interface is pretty much the same.
Note that posting to WordPress requires the XML-RPC feature (WordPress 2.5+) enabled. Thanks Downloadsquad.
If you need to add annotations before uploading the image, also check out the review of DashBlog.

I have been searching for this feature for a long time. I post a lot about portions of a page and user experience patterns and it is a must for me. I tried using SnagIt and uploading the photo to flickr, then using that to create the post. Pain in the neck. Nothing had flow for this use case. Finally I started using OneNote. it allows you to take a grab and create the post, then upload directly. I still have to massage the post before putting live (tags, categories, etc.). But it finally allowed me to post with some flow. I look forward to trying out the firefox extension to see if it grants a little more control of the post itself.
