Ok, here we go. After you get your screenshot,

- Use any image editor you prefer to resize it and to convert it to an image format that has a smaller size (for quicker viewing)
- Go to an image hosting site like: http://www.imageshack.us/ and upload your image there. They will automatically create a thumbnail you can use and will also provide you with the forum posting "code" to show your image.
- Come back here and paste that "code" in your post.

There are other ways, but that's the easiest and nicest way I can think of. You can also just attach the image with your post, but you won't get the thumbnail (which IMO is nice to have).

Hope that somewhat helps.

Hmm ... not sure what you mean by this. Typing what stuff out?

You can put the url of the image you want to show. So, something like:
[img]http://someserver.com/somefolder/myimage.jpg[/img]
