If you want to take a screenshot during your SoA game, simply press the

< A HREF="URL of webpage here" > Any text you like < /A >
If however, you want to show a single screenshot in your post, then you can use a
Freeservers website. They only offer 12 MB worth of webspace, but they do allow direct linking to .jpg files like the following,
