"Introducing Dave Carlick", web marketing pioneer, and (new!) UserLand Software board member.

Teaser: This screen shot of Frontier 5/Win shows what it looks like when I'm editing a DaveNet piece called cookies. It's getting sexy!

How to create a screen shot on Windows:

1. Arrange the shot. Press the Print Screen button.
2. Open Paint Shop Pro.
3. Choose "Paste as New Image" from the Edit menu.
4. Crop the image using the marquee tool. (It looks like a square in the toolbar.)
5. Reduce the colors to 8-bit, 256 colors.
6. Save it as an 87a non-interlaced gif.
7. Thanks to Brent Simmons.

Shannon Posniewski adds "If you hit Alt-PrintScreen, then the current window is copied to the clipboard instead of the whole screen. No need to crop!"
