    It's nubbish but it was one of my first guides ever. Will be posting more guides soon and be more active here so here I g.

    What is a Screenshot? A screenshot is a digital image to show.

    Steps:

    1. Find the page you want to take a screenshot of.
    2. Press Print Screen (Shown in Picture below)

    [​IMG]

    3. Open Paint

    [​IMG]

    4. Click on Edit, Then Paste or Ctrl + V

    5. Click on File Save As...Save the Picture and then you're done. All you have to do is find a place to upload it.

    [​IMG]

    There you have it, that is how you take a screen shot. :)

    My only recommendation would be to tell them to save it in .png, or at least .gif. 'cause .bmp is terrible.

    You can also open paint by typing 'mspaint' in the run bar. :nerd: lol

    But overall nice simple guide. +rep(although the background images should be changed to neofriends.net lol...but that doesnt matter ;) just me being pickeh)

    Overall nice guide. Maybe show a little more in Paint although they probably know what to do. Nice guide, +rep.

    This is quite useful.

    Also if you want to take screenshots of a webpage theres a nice firefox addon called 'Fireshot' that people should check out.

    You might want to add that on some keyboards and many laptop keyboards, you might need to press a function (Normally looks like [fn]) button then PrtScrn.

    For Mac users its Shift +  + 4 for a selection, Shift +  + 4 +Spacebar (can be pressed afterwards) for a single window, and Shift +  + 3 for the whole screen.
