Minimize all of your programs and then take a screen shot and upload the shot to photobucket or something, then link the picture using the image tags.

just press your Print Screen button on your keyboard to capture the image to your clipboard. Open up Paint, or any image editor you want, and paste it in there. Save as JPG, and upload it to a host. a free host is imageshack.us thats about it
