You see that button on your keyboard with "Print Screen" on top and "SysRq" under it? (I'd never used it before, myself.) Hit shift-that button. It looks like nothing has happened, but something has. Now open a program like Paint (which you probably have but also, perhaps, have never used). Hit ctrl-v. Now you've pasted the entire screen into your Paint program. From here, I hit "save as" and saved it as a jpg, and then opened it in my favorite photo editor to crop it and change the size so it was journal-able. There may be a way to crop it WITHIN Paint, but I couldn't figure it out, and saving as a jpg was work-with-able enough.
Well, who the hell am I, really? Blogged on (don't shoot me) AOL for years, and, upon AOL-J's implosion, thought I'd move on out here with the big boys.
The journal started off as a record of my initial forays into a gym, as I tried to get fit for a trip to New Zealand -- and then a journal of the trip. Since then, it's sort of grown into a standard whatever-I-happen-to-be-thinking -about blog. I think it's best when I travel, actually, but feel free to check out five years of history (and who knows how much future).

So how the frell were you able to save it as a graphic?
