Step 7
The first thing you need to do is sign up for an account at Angelfire and make sure you write your username and password down somewhere safe. (Don't delete the welcome email Angelfire sends you, they're in there!) You'll need them every time you want to upload a chart.

Once you've logged into your account, 

 

Step 4
Now, lets say you want to select just the chart with it's Open Interest and Volume area below it (outlined in red). Place your mouse cursor at the top left corner of the red box, and while holding your cursor down, drag your mouse diagonally across to the bottom right corner of the area you want to select. The mouse cursor changes to a plus sign looking thingy during this operation.

You'll see it draw an enlarging box to enclose the area, and when you release the mouse button at the bottom right corner, you'll see the box now has a dotted line. 

Step 5
Click on Edit again, (top left) and select Cut. The image area within the dotted lines will disappear! Yesssss! You did good! Now click on File, and select New. A box will pop out asking if you want to "Save changes to untitled?" Click No.

Step 6
Click on Edit again, and this time select Paste. The section of cropped image within the dotted lines will appear in the window.

You can experiment with the tools in MS Paint to edit the image further if you choose, but once you're satisfied with it, click on File, and Save As. Be sure to save it in a folder you will have no trouble finding later. (I created a folder called Charts and saved it to the Desktop). You want to save this chart as a .gif image, where it says "Save as type:" NOT as a bitmap!

For our purposes here, lets assume we saved the file as chart1.gif, and put it in a folder called Charts on drive C.

Next: Step 7...Uploading the chart to a web server.

For this exercise we'll pick a freebie web host like Geocities or Angelfire, and walk through uploading a chart step by step.
