How Do You Take that Image in the Screen? Use Print Screen!

I am supposed to write another post but since a very dear blogger buddy who is always here in my blog wrote a question in this post which i find it worth making a blog post. If you would read her question, it is actually regarding taking the image of something that is shown in the screen: be it your profile page, your earnings, your dashboard, a photo you like, the whole screen, etc.

This is the print screen key in the keyboard.. It is in the upper right portion of the keyboard, just look for it.
So far I have two ways to do it. The one is available to everyone and the second one is conditional. The first method I know is with the use of "Print Screen" function from the keyboard and the second method is with a software such as SnagIt.

The Screen Printed Virtually
Print screen function is available to everyone. How it is done and how does one make the image usable with the utility of the print screen? As for the technique I am using to make screen images helpful in my blog is with the assistance of the Program "Paint" that is already in everyone's PC or laptop.

The following Are the Procedures I Do To Have My Own Copy of What I See in My Screen
1. Click the "Print Screen" key.

2. Open the "Paint" application by clicking: "Start"--> Programs--> Accessories--> Paint

3. Paste the image you just acquired from clicking "Print Screen" by pressing "Ctrl"+"V". Another way to paste is to go to "Edit" in the menu bar and click "paste".

4. Edit your image from there by "selecting" and "cutting/copying" and "repasting" to a new file/new paint window the image you have selected.


Basically, this is how my screen looks as I hit the printscreen and pasted it in paint...
Using a Software in Snapping the Screen
Using a software such as snagit (the one I am pretty familiar with because I also use this) is easier. But I think this is not applicable to everyone plus the fact that most of software usage require fees, although they have the trial version for a month or two for users to see if their product is good.

With snagIt, once one tries to press the snagging button, the area in the screen can be selected immediately and hola, it will be opened in snagit's auto opened clipboard and from there, it can directly be copied or saved.


And here is the portion of that whole print screen that I chose to cut and be part of my blog post... Easy, isn't it? And if you ever wonder why it became big, simply click here to be cleared on how to do it..
I will not dwell on this, I simply demostrated that there are alternatives aside from the "Print Screen" function of the keyboard.

If You Have Windows Vista You Have Another Option
Another way to easily capture a screen image, which actually functions like snagIt is with Windows Vista SnapShot. I actually do not know how it is called in English because my laptop here speaks Italian. It says "Strumento di Cattura" which literally translates to "Capturing Instrument" so the term for me is not that clear in English. If you have Windows Vista, just try to go to: Start--> Programs--> Accessories--> Capture Image (or whatever is the term in English for this)
Any questions and violent (but reasonable) reactions are highly welcome.

Talking About Dollars Attached to Blog Posts...

I am thankful I chose such a theme like this in my blog, webbie related stuffs. From paid posts only, I have earned a considerable amount of dollars.. As I have posted in this blog entry here, I have displayed and shared some of my earning options online. Again, mine is only a side earning, I do not have plans ever to go full time earning online.

Although that earning ($247) is NOT big but it is NOT so bad either, right? Plus the fact that I do not have a google PR in this blog.... i still get that earnings...
If you are a member of any of the paid posting sites and you do paid posts such as me, you know that people who do say paid posting is bad for a blog's health have not really tried it or failed in it. As for my opinion, I can say that: that statement is ONLY true if the blog is earning in another way. However, if a blog or site is not earning anyway, getting into paid posting is NOT a bad idea. In this blog where this post is written, I have earned at least $200 in paid posting only. Not counting the thousands of earnings from other sources, that is another story partially tackled in this blog entry again.

Opportunity and Real Cost
Don't assume I sound like an economist here. I sound like accountant and auditor though, and that fact I can admit. Because I am, in real life! As for your monetising options, all you have to do to be in or out in a paid posting industry is to consider the overall bad or good that it can cause to you and your blog. What your WebbieGurl is pointing out here is the fact that you might wait too long before joining, and before you know it, you have spent so much of the OPPORTUNITY cost (OC) in there. OC is not literally money but IT can be converted to some considerable amounts if you have acted wisely given some situations.

Earning Much? Make Money in Blogging Blog?
I am NOT! This BLOG is NOT a Make Money Online Blog or Earn Thousands Fast.. I hate that assumption and the deceit that goes around that line. I am telling you that everything requires hard work and perseverance, and sometimes, a little investment.


This is just to inform you that online earning is very possible. This is NOT from blogging but from online effort. From blogging, read more to gain as well...
Paid Posting Is Bad?
Thus, if you have decided to make paid posts, I have various suggestions for you. You have two options here, whee I am a meber as well and I do earn too. See my respective earnings and read the captions and the choice is yours where you want to join. If you leave a message here after acting, that would be better as I do my best to help you in any possible way I can.

PayingPost: I just joined this blog few days ago and have not seen its earning power yet. I suggest you join and refer your friends because this is a relatively paying post site and not too many are in yet. One eferral here will allow you to earn $15 each. I can say that is NOT bad.

BidVertiser: I only earned $28 from this and have received this amount already. No regrets joining. They pay also if you refer some of your buddies.

(click image to join) Many know about this already, pay per post. It is pretty effective as you can see in my earning above. If you have been rejected before, you can sign up again, there is no harm in trying. I bet your traffic and posts have become better than then. Good luck! Click the little image to register.
