Whats an Instagram story? Im fairly new to Instagram....was always just Facebook. I just post the odd pic to instagram ...but on TBT ( throw back Thursday) ive postd from my gallery.

Today, we’re introducing Instagram Stories, a new feature that lets you share all the moments of your day, not just the ones you want to keep on your profile. As you share multiple photos and videos, they appear together in a slideshow format: your story.

With Instagram Stories, you don’t have to worry about overposting. Instead, you can share as much as you want throughout the day — with as much creativity as you want. You can bring your story to life in new ways with text and drawing tools. The photos and videos will disappear after 24 hours and won’t appear on your profile grid or in feed.

Go to the help section. They have lists of things you can do there and click on to the GIF making one. This is where I learned to do banners.

Bringing over an Instagram Story

There are various method's depending on your browser and device you are using. Here is one method.

Copy and paste this code in the reply box without the code tags:

Code:: <video controls="" height="460" width="320"> <source src="/extensions/myVideo.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video>

While viewing the IG story, right click on the story, copy video address

replace /extensions/myVideo.mp4 in the code with the url of the IG story. Make sure you leave the " at the beginning and " at the end.

Using a laptop and google chrome.

Please PM me if you have another method and I will add it here. TYIA

Posting a picture/scap saved to the device you're using.

Choose the icon

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Find your picture

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Choose send all, the codes will appear. I copy the middle code and paste it in the reply box. You can only upload three at a time. If you use "insert all" I find the forum messes it up and paste three of the same picture, so I do one at a time. Post the link for your source underneath the last picture.

How to Post Links

This is an example of a People's article. I have it open on my laptop and am reading it. Now I'd like to share it on our forum.

The "link" you want to copy is in the "address bar" It starts with [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] at the top of the page of the article or whatever you are looking at. If you click on it or tap it depending on your device, it highlights.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

With your cursor over the link, right click or whatever method you need to do to have the options drop down and choose "copy".

You come to the post in our forum, right click again, and "paste". It will look like this.
