it may/may not be different depending on your computer. for example, i have a laptop and i ALSO have to press FN+ALT+PRTSC. just play around, it's always one or the other.

Look at the tutorial link that was posted. Or if you don't, then in addition to pressing Print Screen, pasting the image into Paint and saving it, then you have to go to a site like TinyPic or Imageshack to host your image. Copy and paste the appropriate code given, then put it between thumbing tags:

on a mac...
it's applekey+shift+3 for the whole screen
and applekey+shift+4 and you get a selection tool to crop the area that you want to be screen-shotted.
LASTLY, it's applekey+shift+4+space and then you click which window you want to screen-shot.
