According to the analytics firm Union Metrics, brands that decrease the frequency of their posts tend to lose followers quickly. Your followers followed you because they want to see your content. Be consistent with posting, but don’t overdo it. If you post more than 2-3 photos or videos per day, use Instagram Stories so you don’t clutter your followers’ feeds. When posting photos, add a caption that contains a question for your followers. Make the question something thoughtful, or something funny. The more people that answer your question, the more popular your post will be. To respond to them directly, type the “@” symbol and type their Instagram name. This shows everyone that you’re down to earth and willing to interact with your fans. It may also be helpful to like comments others have left for you, especially when you can't think of a written response to give. According to an Instagram study, posts that mentioned another Instagram account (e.g., @instagram) in the caption encouraged 56% more comments and likes than otherwise.  For example, if you take a photo at a restaurant, mention the restaurant’s Instagram name (e.g., @olivegarden) in the caption. If you see something that reminds you of another Instagram user, snap a photo and post it with a caption like, “I thought of you, @[user]!” Unless you are already a celebrity, you need to put time and energy into becoming an Instagram sensation. Increase your responses to comments, respond to Direct Messages, and like tons of photos! If you have a creative idea and some fans, grow your community by giving away a prize in exchange for likes and follows. Choose a prize worth winning, share a photo of it on Instagram, and then encourage your followers to like the photo to enter. When the contest ends, choose a random follower to win the prize! Encourage your followers to tag their friends so they can also enter your contest. Websites like Statigram, Websta.me, and Iconosquare provide statistics that help you track your Instagram success. If you find that you lost several followers over a particular period, look back at your feed and see what may have sent them running. If your views spiked when you shared a certain photo, share more like it.

If you want to adjust your lower tracks, use a screwdriver or wrench to loosen the screws or nuts holding the lower track brackets in place. Make sure to do this on both the left and right track. With the lower track brackets loosened, you can gently shift the tracks to the left or right, causing the garage door to move. Do this with both tracks until there is a .25 in (0.64 cm) gap between the bottom of the door and the top of the crown molding, indicating that the tracks may be properly aligned. If you have trouble moving the tracks, place a thick piece of wood against the track and tap it with a hammer or mallet. The force should cause the track to shift. In order for your garage door to function as intended, your tracks need to be perfectly level. If they aren't, the door will not open and close properly, potentially leading to unwanted gaps, panel buckling, or door binding. Use your fingers to retighten the screws or bolts holding the lower track brackets in place. Once you've reached finger tightness, meaning you can no longer turn the fasteners by hand, use your screw or wrench to add a few more turns. This will ensure that the fasteners are properly tightened without stripping them. To be sure that the tracks are properly aligned, open and close your garage door multiple times. If you have an automatic garage door, stand far away while it opens and closes. If you have a manual garage door, be extra cautious in case something was compromised during the adjustment process.

A large saucepan is better for cooking rice than a smaller one as it has a greater cooking surface. This allows the water in the saucepan to heat more evenly, leading to a greater level of consistency in the cooked rice. A tight fitting lid prevents steam from escaping when cooking. About 1 cup (225 g) of uncooked rice will yield approximately 3 cups (750 g) of cooked rice. Rinse the rice thoroughly in a sieve or strainer until the water runs clear. Add to saucepan.  For softer rice, soak the grains in cold water for 45 minutes to an hour before cooking. This allows the water to penetrate the outer bran layers.  Optionally, you can heat a little oil in the saucepan over medium heat and fry the rice for a moment before adding the water. This helps build flavor, but is definitely optional.
