How to Print Screen/Screenshots:

If you want to take screenshots you'll need some software. I use PicPick, it's free for personal or non-commercial use and is great for taking screenshots and editing them (cropping,blurring,pixelating,adding text etc)

Here is the download link:

http://www.picpick.org/download (FREE)

To take these screenshots you need to press the PrtSc key on your keyboard.

The PrtSc key is in the same area as the Ins and Del key (On my Keyboard)

Please note, this isn't my keyboard.

How to Upload Them!:

To upload photos you can use many websites.

Some popular ones are tinypic, imageshack or photobucket.

TinyPic is free registration but isn't ideal for going back and getting your uploads again.

Photobucket is great, registration is required but I would highly recommend it for uploads.

How to take videos!:

There are many programmes that can record the screen.

A popular one is Camtasia Studio 7, this is not free however and costs quite alot.

A free solution to that would be CamStudio.

CamStudio isn't as polished as other software but it gets the job done.

Here is the link:

Another great screen-recorder worth mentioning is uTIPu, this is also free.

Thanks for doing this. +1 rep'd, and I recommend others do the same.If you don't want to download a program you can just paste the screen shots into Paint just like copy-pasting text.

My laptop doesn't seem to take screenshots without PicPick. No Problem, Thanks.
