2. Open the Status tab
3. Type your message in the text box
4. (Optional) Enter an Image ID to attach one of your uploaded images
5. Click Post
Your status appears on your public profile page immediately.
Attaching Images
You can attach any of your uploaded images to a status post:
1. Find the image ID (the short code from the image URL, e.g. abc123)
2. Enter it in the Image ID field when posting a status
3. The image will appear embedded in your status post
This is a great way to highlight specific uploads and give them context with your text.
