I just recently received and email asking how to do a "screenshot" to show of such things as Etsy Treasuries, etc.
Here is how I explained it:
First make sure everything you want in the picture is showing on the screen, it will not capture anything that you would need to scroll up or down to see. Then I hold down the "Ctrl" key and press the "print screen" key. (then I realized you do not even have to hold down the "ctrl" key) It will feel like you computer just did nothing but it actually placed anything you saw on your screen on your clipboard. The I open my Microsoft works program to a blank project like a flyer, or any editing program you have to paste and edit a photo, and "paste" the screenshot there. Then crop it down to what you want shown and "Bob's you uncle" perfect screen shot!!
All computers are different but here is a good Typepad link that explains other ways.
I just did one of my "bee spotting" flickr group.
I also like to add the link where I found the shot to the picture so when anyone clicks on the picture it will take you right to the site. Give credit where it is due.
I am posting this today as a helpful tidbit of info because you never know when you might bee in the spotlight. It is one of those things that is good to know. I am also posting it today because I am proud of all of you who are being featured out there online or magazines. It is thrilling to flip through and see names I know. Congratulations to all!
