About screenshot: two way, first using the html code provided by imageshack click on the html button here and past the code you copy on imageshack; second use the direct link to the image like http://whateverurl.com/image.jpg copy it, click on the image button here and past it.
About start button: Start button is usually an image with 5 states. So you should have something like that:

With in order: Normal, Pressed, Disable, Mouse Over, Focus & Default States.
(You can download the picture by right click, save as... )
the usal size is: 380x30 pixel
you'll may need to play with the margins to make it fit correctly

Thanks for your explains....I find how to have an entire button but just for the first subframe(normal).I understood that skinstudio can create subframes ...and when I click on the button"create subframes"...I have nothing.
Should I create my each subframe by loading an image for each? Or is there a bug?...I think I have not understood all the things I must do...
Sorry I just a beginner and the English,for me is quite difficult.

to use the subframe creator you'll need to create each states separetly. Each image should have the same size.
when you'll have created the 5 images, open the sub frame builder,
then on Frame count write 5 instead of 1,
then import each states in order: Normal, Pressed, Disable, Mouse Over, and Focus & Default
then save the file.
after all these steps, import the image in sks for your start button.
