Go to your desktop and press the key 'Print Screen|SysRq' button. It's up on the top right hand side of your keyboard, right above your number pad.

Open up paint or whatever you have, hit paste and then save as .gif file. And whala - you've taken a screenshot of your desktop and can now post it on whatever site you need to. And, of course, if you need a host site, photobucket.com is always a good one. (;
