I hope Matt doesn't mind me starting this, but perhaps it would be good to share some of the IT tricks that can be used here on the forum. Things like posting pics, Print Screen, re-naming links (which I do not know how to

).

Some of us are slightly better versed in IT than others, so it's good to share.

I shall start with Print Screen.

To upload an image currently on your monitor (otherwise known as Print Screen):

1) Press the Print Screen (It shows as 'prt sc' for some. Near the Delete key) key when the image you want is currently on. This 'captures' the current image showing on the monitor.

2) Open an image editing program. This could be MS Paint, or Photoshop, or anything similar.

3) Paste whatever you have in there.

4) Save it as a JPEG file

5) Now, you have an image, which you then upload.

And now, somebody shall come along to explain how to upload pics...
