You will need to upload the exported image to a web server. Facebook or photobucket may work if you don't feel like using a real web server.

Take me out to the black, tell them I ain't comin' back...
I don't care cause I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me...

I turned myself into a monster, to fight against the monsters of the world.

1. tinypic.com
2. upload picture
3. get the 'raw address' (what is labeled as 'for use in templates')
4. embed said address in IMG tags

Now, if we could only mod Giant War Eagles to carry crossbows, we could do strafing runs on the elves who sold the eagles to us in the first place.

How do I get the raw address?
(i'm an idiot)

Also to get the picture, do I just print screen?

When in doubt, do that.

I don't think you can. At least the F1 button doesn't tell me anything about it.

Well, the screen is about 80x80 tiles wide,  but if you have to have a bigger image, i guess you just make lots of smaller screenshots and paste them together in MS paint or whatever image manipulation program you use.

No, what I mean is I want a screenshot, I don't want like my desktop in the desktop or whatever in the background

Then crop it. Delete everything that doesnt belong there.

press "Prt Scr" (or Shift-SysRq, most likely), paste it into paint, select and delete everything you don't want in there.Save, upload, link.
