title: build a chrome extension in order to upload images (from clipboard)
body: <p>I wanted to write a simple chrome extension in order to substitute the following sequence of steps which i have to do very often for university:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol>
    <li>make screenshot of something</li>
    <li>edit screenshot in Paint</li>
    <li>save unnamend.png to harddrive</li>
    <li>upload unnamed.png to imageshack.us/pic-upload.de or any
    other website </li>
    <li>share link of image with others.</li>
    </ol>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I don't care which image upload service to use, i just want automize this use-case in order to save time (I already red and did a getting-started chrome extension and checked out their API, but that's it, this page: <a href="http://farter.users.sourceforge.net/blog/2010/11/20/accessing-operating-system-clipboard-in-chromium-chrome-extensions/" rel="nofollow">http://farter.users.sourceforge.net/blog/2010/11/20/accessing-operating-system-clipboard-in-chromium-chrome-extensions/</a> seemed useful, but i couldn't make it overwrite my systems clipboard - moreover i can't find a tutorial which helps me further).  </p>
