Loving the front of msnbc.com - check this out!
Top right corner says:
Even in states that Barack Obama seems unlikely to win next Tuesday, such as Mississippi and Georgia, African-American voters inspired by Obama may help elect Democratic senators, giving Obama a big Senate majority.

Notice the phrasing: "...giving Obama a big Senate majority." No mention of "if he should win" or "giving potential President Obama a big Senate majority." No, MSNBC has called it! Obama wins! :D

6. Here's the pic--screen capture-->photobucket...
It took about 65 seconds. Cropped, not the full screen.

8. OK, edumacate me.
I saved the screen shot but of course I could only then copy it to a word doc. How did you copy it to a photo in photobucket? (I tried to save the screen shot using the "Save As" option under the "Page" menu but I kept getting error messages).

And, thank you for the screen shot!!

10. K, here goes.
I've got a mac, so you'll have to adapt. If you have a mac, let me know and I'll give you the easy way I do it.

Looks like you are able to copy it to a clip board, you need to save it to your desktop.

There has to be a way to get it to do that, but until we figure that out, you can paste it into an email to yourself and then save it to your desktop when you get your message. In a doc, it think it's a "pict-clipping" that isn't easy to save as anything you can use to upload.

That's the part I'm not sure about, read this page: http://www.seoconsultants.com/windows/print-screen/

Photobucket is easy, a free account and when you get there it allows you to upload, from the desktop is easiest to find, but you can use the browser to find any file, so long as you know the file name and where to look.

Upload the pic, open and save the pic (you can crop it and alter it if you like), then view the pic and right click over it "view image" to get the URL for the specific picture.

Make sure you delete any characters in the URL after the .jpg ending, so that you have only the image and no other code.

Let me know how it goes...I'll see about easy ways to see how to save a "print screen" to your desktop.

9. MSNBC obviously isn't keeping up with Georgia.
I wouldn't call an Obama win "unlikely."
