Thanks for your suggestions, Ernest. The icon is as cool as I can make it, being a programmer and not a graphic artist. I did change the description from totally dull to pretty controversial (at least, I think that claiming the extension to enable "digital grafitti" is controversial). The screenshots have been there since day 1, but they are boring because that's not what the extension does. All it does is enable user comments about a site to be visible to anyone who navigates to any page in the site. I don't see how to make interesting screenshots out of that.
As for a video, I'd like to but I can't because although I my do development on a PC, the screen capture software I bought was for my PPC-based Mac and Chrome isn't available for it. Now, if I could find some good video capture software for the PC that supports a zoom feature, I'd be willing to spring for that and take videos on the PC. But so far, I haven't been able to find any. Finally, regarding your last idea, I don't have a blog. I do have a Twitter account and as soon as I can figure out how to get other users to "follow" me on it, I'll give it a try.
