How do you get a screenshot of one of your maps so that you can show it on a post?

After you do that in game, then the picture you took should be saved in your SC directory as a .pcx file

None.

What it does: Grabs minimap or entire map from scx/scm files and saves to an image. Save to jpg/gif/bmp.
Pros: Good for quickly creating images of dozens (or hundreds) of maps at a time.
Cons: Doesn't always get the exact colors in the minimap right. Images come out not looking like the real minimap in-game.

The folder where the map your trying to make an image of. Example - If your map is called "my map" the directory could look like this:

C:/Program Files/Starcraft/maps/my map.scx

The picture will appear in C:/Program Files/Starcraft/maps/
