Lots of you have been asking how to take pictures of the computer screen, like I have on this blog. Well, it's actually very easy.
1. First, find Paint on your computer. Every standard computer has the paint application, but if yours doesn't for some reason, you can download applications like Paint.NET (what I use) for free.
When you open 'paint' it should open a canvas (a canvas is just a white page) for you. If it doesn't, click 'File' then 'New'.
2. Go to the page you want to take a picture of, eg. your me-doll, suite, etc. Make sure the mouse pointer is out of the way. Find a button on your keyboard that says 'Print Screen' or 'Print Scr'. Push that button :)
3. Go to Paint and 'Edit', then 'Paste'. This should make the picture appear on your canvas. If it doesn't, repeat step 2.
4. Crop the image so you can only see the picture you want.
5. Click 'Save' and use your picture any way you want!

hi :)
that's a good explanation :) I might refer to here if anyone asks me xP
only I think the "Make sure the mouse pointer is out of the way." isn't necessary. well, on my pc it isn't xP
+ on some computers (laptops mainly I think) it's "Prt scr". And in case you happen to have a french keyboard it's "Imp écr" or "Imprimer ecran" :)
thnx so much!!!!thnx so much for teaching us that!!!!
thnx again:)

how do you put it on your blog??????? cna you tell me here or on my stardoll, misscaitlin9999
Did you know you can also use Microsoft, you print the screen and overlap it many times, I don't use either, because I use the Snipping Tool, usually Microsoft computers have it, I got it for free. And you don't have to crop... You should try that. =] It might not work because you need to press fn for a PC, because my brother taught me a long time ago, try using that bottom row and print screen. Ta-ta.
I don't have a Print Screen button on my computer, so I have to press this button that says fn in a little square and insert at the same time.
emmm it doesnt work for me cause i havea new keyboard and on it there isnt print screen :(:(
