Sorry for the noobie question, but this has bothered me to no ends. How do you get a picture of your screen onto your website. I know you have to press print screen but then what?

Press Print Screen, then open up Photoshop/Paint/Gimp whatever, create a new document, and press CTRL+V

If you want screen grabs of your website, you can use the excellent Screengrab Firefox addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146

It's basically copying and pasting text to Notepad. I suggest making Microsoft Paint as your default program to open/view ".jpg" files if you haven't done so already to boot.

Another option is Screen shot with Mozilla Firefox. Which is very easy to work. We can set pointers or any other dwawing tools.

1. Press Alt + Print Screen.
2. Paste it whereever you want.

You can also use screen capture programs like FastStone Capture.
