Ok, dumb question time, I've seen several iPad screenshots in the forums within several posts. How are you accomplishing this? Are you posting directly from your iPad or desk/lap top? How are you capturing the image? Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Hold down the power button and push home you should hear a shutter snap.

    Dan answered correctly, but let me fill in some gaps to posting an iPad screen shot:

    1) As Dan said, Hold down the power button and push the home button. If sound is turned on, you will hear a shutter snap sound.

    2) Open up your "pictures" folder and find the screen shot. It should be at the bottom.

    3) Email the picture to yourself and save the image to a folder.

    4) Attach the image to a post.

    If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

    Dan I totally misread your post, which is clearly written.  I was pressing the "Home" button on Logos thinking for some reason every program does snapshots through their software... no...

    Nifty trick there!

    NOt a problem I was being too brief. On the iOS devices, you can take a photo of most any screen by holding the power down and pressing the apple home button located at the bottom (or side depending how you are hold it). It has nothing to do with the Logos home button on the screen, and I am afraid I never even thought of people pushing that button.
