Sharing
So you've just made a map, named it, saved it, and you want to share it with the world! Here are the steps you take in order to share your maps right here on the Canvas game page, although the steps are very similar elsewhere:

1. Go into the Canvas game folder
2. Find the file in which you saved your artwork (Art1, Art2, Art97, etc.)
3. Remember that file name
4. Go to a file hosting website such as Mediafire or Megaupload
5. Upload your art file
6. Copy the link to where the file is
7. Come to the home page of Canvas
8. Click the button that says "Submit Media"
9. Type in the title of your artwork in the "Title" field
10. Paste the link that you previously copied in the "Body" field
11. Explain any further comments in the "Body" field
12. Pick "General Art" for the "Category" drop-down menu
13. Hit submit! You're ready to share!

Receiving
Receiving someone else's art is somewhat tricky. Here are the steps:

1. Download the piece of artwork from the "Media" page
2. Move the ArtX.rxdata file to your Canvas game folder
3. If you are trying to download a piece of art called Art3.rxdata but there is already an Art3.rxdata in your folder, make sure you rename it to any other number between 1 and 99.
4. Load it up inside the game and play away!

Sharing without save files
If you don't want people editing your map and calling it their own (please don't, that's very mean) or you want to share with friends that don't have this game, you can follow these steps to take a picture of your map:

1. While you are on your map, move to the very right of the canvas
2. Make the game full screen by holding Alt and clicking Enter
3. Simply click the PrtSc (Print Screen) button on your keyboard
4. Open up Microsoft Paint
5. Click "Edit"
6. Click "Paste"
7. Save the image as a .PNG file with your map name before it (Map name.png)
8. Upload your picture to imageshack.us or another photo hosting website
9. Share! (You can also share pictures with the "Submit Media" technique)
