    Sorry if a similar one has been posted, another one I did not write.

    Well making screen shots isnt a hard thing to do although many people aren't sure how to do it. So lets start.

    First click the page you want to screen shot. Then you should look for the 'PrtSc or Sys Req' button on your keyboard. Now press that button while the page you want screen shotted is open. Now open up paint. When it opens up simply paste it on the page. There you can resize the image and add text if you want to. From there you have to go to an image hosting website like: http://www.photobucket.com , http://www.imageshack.ws or http://www.imagecove.com . Once that is done you should hit 'direct image code' after hosting. Then go on neo or any other site you wish to put it on and use either [image]directimagecode[/img] or <img src=directimagecode>

    And there you have your first screenie. Well done!

    just a quick add to this...
    If you use ALT + PRTSCR, you'll only snap the actice windows... quite usefull when you don't want to lost time cropping full desktop screenshot

    just a note, when saving in Paint, do select save as jpeg file, else you'll be taking longer to upload into imageshack due to the large file size in the default bitmap
