Method 1 for posting photos (Read and follow ALL of it PRECISELY - Do NOT skip steps unless otherwise noted!): Note that these pictures are taken using Windows Vista and the board style called "subsilver2" - if you use a different operating system and board style, the buttons and windows may look different - however, the basic premise is the same.
