Steps

1. Open the Skitch program. You can do this by double clicking on the pink heart icon on your doc. If you do not have Skitch on your doc, simply click the same icon in your applications folder.
   

   Open the Skitch program.
   
   
2. Open the page you wish to take a screenshot of in a new tab or window, depending on your browser and preferences. Do not minimize this window. Simply click on the Skitch icon to bring the program to the front of the screen.
    
3. In Skitch, click on the button labeled 'snap'. This will make the Skitch screen shrink, and leave you with a set of capture crosshairs.

When you get to the end release the button.
