Image Capture

I had always wondered how people were able to get screenshots from their computers. Now I know how. I went to the Washington Post's homepage, ad I held down the shift button and the Print Screen button on the top right corner. Then I went opened Paint and pasted the screenshot taken. I resized it by clicking on the corner and moving diagonally with the two arrows showing. I saved the file as a .jpg image on my computer. Here is a picture of my image capture. I can se how this would be useful in sourcing or referencing information for a blog. If i am discussing my opinion on a specific event, video, news item, etc., it is helpful to have a link to or a screenshot of what I am referencing. Another cool thing to know how to do.
