Why?
What is it used for?
Can I use it to post photos on BajaNomad with it?

What is a #.
Why is it used.

Most modern forums allow you put the link as "media." Some older ones that don't support that let you embed the entire HTML code. That doesn't seem to be possible here.

Here is what we are missing out on (from the IG acct. Doug linked).

Posting link to the image is supported on this forum. Probably depends where the photo is hosted.

Here is link to the original location on somebody's page:


Same photo downloaded to my PC and hosted/uploaded to one of free hosts:

For the record, those are images "tagged" #bajacalifornia (by any IG user - not an individual account).

BajaNomad - 5-18-2019 at 05:02 PM

Besides tags, there are location pages.... from various users who've indicated that location for the image. Examples:

They don't allow hotlinks with the source URL of the images. I'm unable to encourage downloading the images to upload them here.

Patience for the moment on this. Thank you.

So the short answer is NO, you can't use Instagram photos for Nomad posting? ;D:saint:

The scorpion pics are no good because you can`t see the tail. The truck pics are much better because you can see.

That was clever.

If looking at the tail is all it takes to make man happy - well, so be it :) ...

Other than seeing pictures of hot women, I don't see what Instagram is good for.

Wait a minute, what did I just say?

If you were not aware, Instagram is a big data mining company owned by Facebook, all part of that social media cesspool.

Yes, but it is infinitely better than Facebook or Twitter.

Good for pics of places you want to travel too. And pics of dogs and stuff.

What I have found so far is Instagram can only show photos taken on your phone? Is there no way to post pics from your PC?
I also need to learn how to post videos I took of Curt LeDuc driving Baja roads from the passenger seat.
I am still decompressing from the trip... In time, I will get it figured out... or not!

Not straightforward to post from a non-mobile device but this works - https://www.hopperhq.com/blog/how-to-post-to-instagram-from-...

There is for sure. All the guys who are editing their photos using Lightroom, etc., aren't posting from their phones.

You can just copy and paste the 'Share Link'. Click on the 3 dots to the right and just above the photo you want to share then click on "Share Link" to copy the link.

David K - 5-20-2019 at 03:59 PM

Thanks, but can you give the steps and assume I know nothing about Instagram... I appreciate the help! Consider me old on learning this stuff, lol!

Where is Share Link at?
Photos in my PC folder don't have three dots by them. It is the picture in my PC I would want to share onto Instagram. I know about the three dots on Instagram, however.
I think the site Three2tango posted may be the ticket?

He's saying you can share photos from Instagram by copying the link. I don't there's a way to embed the photos in this forum unless the admin adds something.

apple - 5-21-2019 at 04:16 PM

David, you can't upload photos from your computer on to Instagram. You can only post photos on Instagram through the app on your phone or tablet, so the photos need to be saved on there

David K - 5-21-2019 at 05:25 PM

Thanks, I knew that. I have been posting on Instagram, just now in fact. I have more on my PC from my camera and that is what I would like to put on Instagram for people who like that site.

apple - 5-22-2019 at 08:29 AM

So, what is your question then?
