I don't know if what I'm doing is the best way, but what I did was:

1) ALT+PrintScreen to take the screen shot picture
2) Open Microsoft Paint & CTRL+V to paste the screen shot into a picture file.
3) Save as a JPEG
4) Upload to my Picasa website (picasaweb.google.com - create an account off a gmail account if you have one, or create a new one)
5) In Picasa, there's a place that you can click that says Embed Image - copy and paste the URL information, but edit it down to the part that starts with "http://lh4.ggph******.jpg" (your URL may be different - but this part is hidden inside the coding - where the **** is the rest of the URL.
6) Type [img] (the web address from step 5) [/img]

I'm sure there's a better way, but that's how I did it...I think pictures have to be hosted somewhere else - you can't just save a picture in a post (as far as I know, but I'm not a very tech-savvy person).
