DIY Tech Tip

Last evening I attended a Small Business workshop at Wilson Community College.  The presenter was Martin Brossman who is a “Social Media Guru.”  During the class Martin and others expressed interest in using Instagram on a desktop computer.  I started using Instagram after a previous workshop with Martin.  Being the Teckie that I’m am, I installed it on my MAC not knowing that the process was suppose to be difficult.  I don’t remember exactly how I did it but I do remember that the process was effortless.  I’m running Instagram on an iMac using Chrome browser.  You don’t have all the features available on the App for a phone or tablet but it works especially for editing and tweeking posts.  Personally, I use it to upload images from my digital camera.  You stay logged in, so I don’t advice using Instagram on a computer that isn’t secure or behind a firewall. The small business workshops are free and can help grow your customer base. They are available at small business centers across the North Carolina.  CNET Article: How to post to Instagram from any computer
