How to Use Instagram on Webstagram
By Naomi Bolton
The Instagram service enables you to share photos and videos from your mobile device to social networking services but offers limited functionality on a computer. To fill this void, services such as Webstagram offer a Web based interface to access and interact with your Instagram account. Once you link your Instagram account to Webstagram, you are able to view and share photos as well as perform actions such as following and unfollowing users. To make use of Webstagram, you must have an existing Instagram account.
Setting Up Webstagram

Log in to the Webstagram website (link in Resources) using your Instagram account information.
Step 2
Click the "Follow" button if you want to receive Webstagram updates on Twitter. Click the "X" button if you prefer not to make use of this feature.
Step 3
Click the "Settings" button at the top of the page and adjust the options to suit your preferences. Here you can add keywords to your user page, set the visibility of your Webstagram page as well as adjust your email and country settings. Click the "Save Settings" button once you are satisfied your account setup.
