STARTING NOTE - I already know that 99% of Sythe.org users know how to take screenshots. But, some people are scammed as leechers and are clueless.

1. What is the definition of a screenshot?

A screenshot is basically a self explanatory term. It's the same concept as taking a camera and taking a picture of your screen, but much easier, faster, and much more convenient. Screenshots are best viewed in .PNG and .BMP formats due to the coloring.

2. How to take one

On every keyboard, usually at the top right area, there is an array of 3 keys that look like the following:

What you're going to want to hit is the key saying "Print Screen". Some keyboards have Sys Rq under it. But, some dont. Most dont though, but dont let it confuse you, it's simple! Once done, open up Paint or an image editing program and right click, and press "Paste", alternatively, just press Control + V. Save it to a convenient place!

3. How to upload/share one

It's fairly simple actually. First, goto an image hosting site. Some simple and very familiar ones are:

1. http://www.tinypic.com
2. http://www.imageshack.us
3. http://www.photobucket.com [REQUIRES REGISTRATION]

For this example, I'll be using ImageShack.us for the example.

Once uploaded, grab your link and share!

I appreciate the guide, however it is unneeded. If you would have read the stickies in this section, it has already been said.

Good effort, however you should do some more research next time before you post guides.

How to take a screenshot:
There are two ways to do this.

To take a screenshot of the entire screen (windows):
1. Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard (sometimes labeled SysRq). It can usually be found next to the F12 key.
2. Open MS Paint. Open the Run... box (from Start Menu, or press Windows+R and type pbrush or mspaint)
3. Paste your picture in to Paint (edit>paste or ctrl+v)
4. Save the picture.

To take a screenshot of only the window you are in (windows):
1. Press the ALT and Print Screen key on your keyboard (sometimes labeled SysRq).
2. Open MS Paint. Open the Run... box (from Start Menu, or press Windows+R and type pbrush or mspaint)
3. Paste your picture in to Paint (edit>paste or ctrl+v)
4. Save the picture.

Uploading a screenshot:
1. Go to http://imageshack.us. This is the most known image hosting site.
2. Click browse... and locate the picture you wish to upload.
3. Click upload.

Once it is uploaded you will be directed to a page with the link to your picture on it. Copy the direct image link.

To put an image in your guide:
Place image tags around the link to your picture:

That is true, but despite that, it is already posted. I give you an A+ for effort though. You took some time and put this together so you should be recognized even a little bit for the work. Just make sure you check to see if it has been posted before you make a thread. Best of luck on your future guides.

I'm not going to rate it, I'd remove this guide if I were you incase Macroman gets mad for having an guide that's similar to his own. As an percaution.
