Here's the CrossFit building from the link, although I've zoomed in one step closer.

It's very simple: you do a screengrab of the image (works for anything you see on screen e.g. GSV, City Directories, digital library images etc.), save it, and then use an image hosting service to post it.
NB. These instructions apply to Windows.
- There are many ways to get a screengrab. I used to use Microsoft OneNote, but since changing computers, I just use the PrtSc button and crop my images. There are many third-party tools that give extra functionality.
- You don't need a fancy image editor to paste your images into and save them. You can just about get by with MS Paint, but free alternatives like Paint.NET offer many of the useful features of expensive editors for no outlay.
- Pick an image host. I posted links to three popular sites a week ago, but here's a reminder: Photobucket, ImageShack and Flickr. More are available. These sites are generally free to begin with, but will probably charge a small fee to get extra storage or to pay for extra bandwidth if you post a large number of images.
I'm not claiming to be an expert, but feel free to PM me for further details. I'll help if I can
