how do u guys take snapshots like the ones you do when u guys make a new layout for cb?

First have your layout or what ever you want on your screen and press the print screen button next to F12. Paste the pic into your image program (you should resize it), and save. Then upload to a image hosting site like photobucket. But Createblog has a uploader too.

You get the code for the pic.

i bet that was confusing to you.

Press the button at the top of your keyboard that says "PrintScrn" and then paste it in paint or photoshop or something.
