Is there anyway to take a full screenshot of all the blocks in my project?
I'd like to take a screenshot of my whole project but can't find how to do iy without taking multiple shots and pasting them together with paint.

Thank you.

You could apply Ctrl- in your browser until the blocks are so small that they will fit. If they will be still readable depends on how many blocks you have.

I find it more useful to take small screenshots as I code,
shuck them like corn, and drop them into a Google Doc
interspersed with commentary and headings.
After you're done, add a Table of Contents.

This results in a more durable and accessible work product
that you can refer to long after the platform-specific bandwagon
has moved on.

I use a 15 inch laptop and chrome browser so to take a full screenshot of the blocks, i just use ctrl - to zoom out of the screen. I use a screencapture software named PicPick (free windows software) to take the screenshots and they always come out look very good and readable.

+1 for PicPick!

Beware the CNET PicPick download - there are two foist wares to Decline at install time.
Also, if you use Dropbox, you have to disable Dropbox's Preferences->Import->Screenshots option,
otherwise PicPick can't grab your PrtSc keystrokes.

Otherwise, it does save a step between capture and clip.

Thank you all.
I'm affraid my project has too many blocks to just capture the screen. I have reduce the zoom to 33% and resolution is too low.
