Okay, so I was reading something and it mentioned there was an album called "Pregnant Cats" and it was blue, i.e. I could link to it.  OH BOY, I thought, I should put in Moonpie's picture because she was the hugest pregnant cat I ever saw.  So I went there and uploaded a picture.  I typed in a description.  Then there was some other thing I didn't understand (be patient with those of us in the over 70 crowd!) but anyhow I clicked on UPLOAD.  And indeed it DID upload, but it put the picture in the BICOLORS album!   I can't even FIND a pregnant cats album now.  Yes, she is a bicolor, but SO WHAT?  This photo belongs in Pregnant Cats.  Why did it not go there when that's where I was?  And why can't I even find a Pregnant Cats album anymore when I was just in it?

THANK YOU!  I have no idea what a tag is exactly, but it does look like her picture did get into Pregnant Cats.  For her to also show up in Bicolors must mean the software around here is very smart, because I said nothing about her being a bicolor, altthough of course she IS a cream & white bicolor.

Don't feel bad...I'm not at all sure what a tag is, either...I just had to ask my son what a "plug in" is, and how to get one.  The answer was very unsatisfactory.  It was like unto asking Einstein to explain the Theory of Relativity to a semi-bright pre-schooler, as in, "Well, it's a thing...that you plug into your computer."  I now know exactly what I knew before, which is nothing!  I'm thinking that it is a little program to do a specific task that you download, but I'm not sure, by any means...Somehow I doubt that it is something that physically plugs in to a USB port (I do know what that is, but not what it stands for!).

I looked up "plug in, noun" and came up with the following:  "a small computer program that makes a larger one work faster or have more features: i.e., The company charges $50 extra for the optional plug-in. Users simply download a small plugin that works with their browsers.

SO NOW WE BOTH KNOW!

WHOO HOOOO!!!  Now I just have to figure out, when the video on FB says, "You need a plug in," which one do I need, and where do I get it?  Sigh...probably from FireFox, but when the new computer gets here, I want to switch to Chrome, so I'll wait.  I can't download anything on this old thing.  And my printer just quit printing from the internet, although it still prints fine from my files.  Go "figger"...

I have both Firefox and Chrome loaded and prefer Firefox.  But that's just me.
