Oh, boy! It's really easy, I'll try explaining here.

Go to a blank spot where you can make a comment. At the bottom of the box is a little icon of a camera. Click on that icon, then go to where you have your pics saved. When you find the one or ones you want to post, click on them. They should appear in that comment box. Good luck!Smile

Usually your newer cameras or at least your cell phone gives options for adding pictures to Facebook. I use a Droid phone and after I have taken a picture that I would like to send click on the picture that you want to send, click on the blue and white "F" for Facebook located at the top of that page and you will be taken to a new page. My phone reads, "Say something about your photo". I click on that, and a keyboard pops up where I can write a little something about the photo. In the right had corner of that same page it reads, "Post". Click on "Post" and your picture will be sent to Facebook. It's really easy.

There. Now you know how to send pictures from your saved pictures already living on your computer and from your phone. Wishing you luck. Again....really easy.

FB in my opinion is the easiest place to post photos - they make it very simple.

At the top of your home page just click on ""add photos/video"" - two boxes will come up ""upload photos/video"" and ""create photo album."" Click on either one and your photo library from your computer pops up. Double click on the pic you want to add and voila - it's uploaded.

If you're typing text under those boxes and you want to add a photo there's a little camera icon - you add a pic to your post the same way. Same if you're messaging someone.

On your cover page there are various ways to add photos too. To change your cover photo go to the upper left area of the page - there's a little camera icon. Clck on it and there's a little drop down menu for whatever you want to do with the cover photo. Right under your cover photo there's a photo area where you can add photos. Just click on create album then upload from your computer as above.

Ringer, did you figure it out? All good examples given by previous posters. If you still haven't got it, let us know what you are using to get onto Facebook (computer through your bowser, cell phone/tablet through an app, or cell phone /tablet through the browser)

On the computer: save the photo to your pictures library then follow above instructions. If the pic was on my phone I'd upload it to my computer then proceed as above. I know - as someone above said - there are newer phones where you can go from your phone to FB but this is how I do it.

I downloaded instagram app to my phone so all I do is click the picture and add my comment then click the facebook icon and away it goes. You can also get instagram for your computer.
