Here it is step by step:
1)On your desktop press PRINT SCREEN.
If that doesn't work or not found, alternative is CTRL + PRINT.

2)Go to PAINT (Start Menu --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Paint)
If you have any other photo/imaging software like Adobe Photoshop etc. that will work as well

3)In PAINT go to EDIT --> PASTE.
Alternative is CTRL + V

4)FILE --> SAVE AS --> (name it whatever you want and remember where you saved it to, I recommend you save it to your desktop)

5)Go to www.imageshack.us (or any other host of your choice) and click BROWSE, look for your image (where ever you saved it too before) and click it. Click HOST IT and there you go all done.

Hope that helped.

Note: You seem to always be doing lots of wallpapers (well more like an orgy of pictures side to side) so I guess you a bit interested in basic imaging and whatnot, if I were you I would check out Photoshop if you don't have it yet :) You can make wallpapers like mines and stuff or better yet manipulate pictures of your favorite stars and whatnot. You seem to get some good stock images/photos which one could make amazing wallpapers out off with some good use of Photoshop :victory:

Edit: By photo manipulation I mean something like this which I made a while back. (It was a regular image shot with a Nikon D100 and then manipulated in Photoshop for a grotesque feel and look)

Well here is a list of some recent stuff I've done. (These were all from my wallpaper series) and yes most of the stuff I've done has some story behind it be it romantic or more serious but a story nonetheless. :victory: Some are quite easy to spot and interpret like "Wynter" was able to when it came to "Words Are Not Necessary." I also have loads of other non-wallpaper stuff which I've done.

Love the wallpaper (well more like large picture... but wallpaper nonetheless hehe) But wow you need to either get rid of some icons or shove them in a folder like I do... (if you notice I have a folder name icons where I keep all my icons) cause wow half your screen is just an icon mess...

Just my 2cents, after all you want to enjoy the full view of the wallpaper and icons just get on the way plus I doubt you really need to have each and everyone of those icons in plain view all the time (I do science research which involves multiple softwares, digital imaging, graphic softwares and a whole lot of other stuff not to mention the other random stuff like chatting programs, virus scanners, spyware scanners etc. all in all I have 164 icons but the only thing I must have at all times on my screen to quickly click is my Browser, My Computer Folder, and well my Icon folder :) :victory:

Edit: Just Looking at your icons I can name a few icons you not only don't need on your desktop, but you don't even need to have them as Icons...
-Quicktime
-RealPlayer
-Windows Media Player
-Adobe Reader
-VLC Media Player

All these programs open instantly the moment you click a file which requires their use (ex: a pdf file will open adobe acrobat/reader by itself) therefore, you don't need to have those icons... It also goes for other icons you have but I have no idea how frequently you use them like Norton System Works which normally should just be docked and doing it's own virus scanning.

Note: You seem to have a load of programs/processes running on your computer at the start as well (bottom right list is huge of icons/programs). I'm guessing your computer takes over 1 minute to turn on right? As a tip I would suggest looking into removing/turning off some of those running processes which all they do is eat up ram/memory.

Anyways enough about that, I'm probably going to sound like I'm controlling you or something, but I just like to help people out with basic computer stuff which just seems to obvious to me

Arigatou Tainted Wisdom. Most of my backgrounds are compilations. I dont have photoshop anymore so I use paint to do everything.
Come to think about it I might have an older version of photshop but I have never used it so I dont know how to make backgrounds that have a smooth transition. I get so bored with my background so easily that I change them all the time.
Anyways here is how my desktop looks
