So, screen shots. I don't know if anyone really knows what those are. So I guess I'll give my quick explination...
Screen shots are when you see something funny on the computer and either use a program or some computer short cut
(there's some combination of keys you can press which will allow you to "capture" the whole screen and save it as an image.
. It's like in the sims when you can zoom in and take screen shots of them wetting themselves because you deleted all the
toilets in the house or something..) to basically take a picture of the screen. It comes out a lot better than taking a
picture with your phone, and it's also a lot faster because then you don't have to wait five minutes for your phone do
send the message to your email and then you have to open it and save it and then re-upload it to whatever site you want
(and yes, you can text things to your email by the way. It's for the same charge as sending to it another phone, at least
for Verizon). Personally the program I use is MW Snap and you can feel free to look it up and download it if screen
shots seem like something you'd be interested in doing after everything is all said and done. I'd appreciate if you
could give me some credit, because I start a bunch of trends all the time and no one ever gives me credit for
anything so it'd be nice to be able to show someone something written on the internet (screenshot?!?!?!) and say
"HA. SEE YOU IGNORANT PERSON WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE ME. I STARTED IT.". Unless you manage to screen shoot (is that correct?)
something that gets you arrested or killed. Then I have nothing to do with it and you are a complete and utter liar.
Who are you reading my blog person that I do not know and do not associate myself with in any way, shape, or form?
Anyway. Screen shots. So after you take the picture sometimes people will upload the image into paint and write a
comment/circle the funny parts. This is particularly helpful when it's something on a web page and there's a lot of
text that you might not want people to have to waste time reading through. Basically it's like shortening a really long
joke and highlighting the punchline for lazy people. In the interest of trying to get everyone to completely understand
screenshots I will upload an example of this, something taken with MW Snap that I then opened in paint and wrote comments
on/circled things, in case anyone got lost and couldn't comprehend that. But let me finish the screen shot process first.
So after you make you oh so snarky sarcastic comments you can then upload your screen shot to a photo sharing website such
as Flickr or PHOTOBUCKET (hint, hint interblog advertising free publicity for the site that I use bold bold itilaics)
and use their easy to copy and paste, slightly harder to get rid of any links to their site that you don't want but still
fairly not difficult (delete anything that says "aherf=" is a good way to do it.. That deletes the link, then you can just
scan the areas around that to find any possible text that was used as the link until you deleted the actual link part..
As for images I think you'd want to delete "img sync" or something.. Or if you look in the url (the part that looks like
what you type in when you want to get to a website.. www.website.com or what have you) and it says something along
the lines of "img" or the company's name in what comes after the = sign then that's probably the image. Or you can just
copy and paste it into the browser to make sure.. If anyone wants any help with this you can message me or something,
because I'm getting besides the point of this post. Anyway, so then you can copy and paste the code with your lovely
wonderfully witty humorous intelligent comment and you now have your screen shot on your website. So I'm going to
follow this method completely (getting the screen shot, uploading it to paint and making comments, uploading it to
PHOTOBUCKET, and copy/pasting it onto my blog..ness) so that everyone can see all of the steps. Now the paint comments
are optional and I guess the uploading to a photosharing site could be optional too because I'm sure there's some ways
to get it right off your computer, I just find that it's a lot easier to upload it to a photo hosting site such as
PHOTOBUCKET because in the long run t makes things easier. And of course you don't have to paste it to a blog either,
but then what would the fun of taking the screen shot be?
First Screen Shot!:
Second:
Now for some reason I can't post the picture directly to the blog full sized,
then again I guess that's fine because the pictures are really big anyway..
So what these links are for is that they're direct links to those pictures
in my PHOTOBUCKET album. So when you get to the album you're going to want to make sure
you're looking at the pictures at 100% size so you can see all of the writing
in the picture.If anyone has an account on PHOTOBUCKET you can feel free to add me or whatever..
Subscribe to my pictures? Can you friend request people on PHOTOBUCKET? It seems
like there's a friend request option everywhere now a days.. But anyway, you can figure that out.
My deed is done, here is your nice shiney new blog post now with pretty colorful pictures! Kind of..
You can expect to see more screen shots up soon. See that album that says "Private Screen Shots"?
Well those are screen shots that I'm planning on uploading to the site and I put them in an album that
only I can see, so no one can go poking around in there.. Happy waiting.. =]
Stay Frosty
