Sometimes we need a helping hand to make things work the way we want them to, or at least be open to looking at the problem in a different way.

You know, if Mohammed won't go to the mountain, then the mountain needs to go to Mohammed. Right? This might have been ok in the days of sparse population but try moving that stuff around now. You'd need more permits than you can imagine.

Anyway, I digress again.

Right, so we can't open Instagram on our PC (see there is a point to this). So what we need is a helper.

Enter Blue Stacks. Tadaaaa!

http://www.bluestacks.com/

Oh did I mention this was for the PC - Android users? Ok, PC I remember saying but maybe not Android. So here goes. This is only for Android and PC. I have no knowledge of that other mafia. Sorry.

Ok, seriously. Go to the above link and download then install Blue Stacks.

It is all very easy, just follow the prompts.

When done, you can log it into your Google account in Blue Stacks and you will have the option to access a choice of your phone apps.

The idea basically is that you can use your phone apps on your PC screen so that they are bigger and easier to use.

For the sake of this exercise, we are going to look at how to post to Instagram using pictures on our PC.

For those Apple users who are leaving the room now, please take your trash with you and don't harass your classmates who are staying behind to learn something.

Thank you.

Ok, on to Blue Stacks and Instagram.

This was a terrific training! I am just beginning to learn about utilizing social media and I hadn't thought about Instagram. I'll remember this training for when I'm ready for it. Thank you!
