    Lots of good information. My only suggestion is to slow down and describe what you are clicking on; step by step. Don't leave any steps out. I understand that it is difficult to remember to break it down step by step because posting on Instagram is second nature to you, but not everyone is as familiar with Instagram as the younger generation.
