Here's the function i usually use:

screenshot () {
        filename=screenshot-`date +"%F_%I.%M.%S"`
        cd $HOME
        xwd -root > $filename.xwd
        convert $filename.xwd $filename.png
        rm -f $filename.xwd
        mv $filename.png /opt/www/mike/htdocs/album/desktop
        cd /opt/www/mike/htdocs/album/desktop
        album -file_sizes -clean -name_sort -reverse_sort -notheme 
-known_images
        echo "http://www.fluffypenguin.org/album/desktop/$filename.png"
}

It's written for zsh, but there's no reason why it wouldn't work in 
bash. It takes the shot, makes it a png, then moves it into my photo 
album and regenerates the album thumbnail pages. Last, it prints the 
url for the file for easy copy-pasting :)

album is from http://MarginalHacks.com/Hacks/album/
