Here are the steps for takeing a screen shot and getting it on the internet

 

1. First when you take your screen shot be shure that your graphics settings under options is set to medium or low (This helps reduce the size of your picture and makes more room for other pictures if your picture is over 500 kb big I will not post it on the internet later I will tell you how to check the size of your picture)

2. When you are ready to take your screen shot (you can only take one at a time)press the print screen button on your keyboard (dont worry it wont print a picture of your screen) the print screen button is located beside scroll lock on a common windows keyboard now when you press the paste button under edit on the tool bar it will paste your screen shot.
