How to see Instagram likes count

How you can still see Instagram likes count if you are so inclined:

Instagram removes likes count

Instagram removes likes count. What does it really mean and how will it play out? Will instagram backtrack on this seemingly altruistic move. Do they have some ulterior motive in terms of monetization funelling more in their favour?

Rick and Morty keychains

Got keys and chains somehow need a way to put them together? Well you're definitely going to need these.

First we have everyone's in your face, irreverent, iconoclast whose vivisection of society is at once acerbic as it is astute - the inimitable Rick Sanchez asssssss Pickle Rick! I mean who wouldn't like a pickle in their pockets or purse right?

Next we have Mr Meeseeks. If nothing else to remind you to stay on track with goals and be single minded till it's done is a great ideology. Otherwise existence is pain.

What's Rick without Morty eh? Or what's Morty without Rick? It's the whole chicken and the egg, I must confess I need to go back through the episodes to get back into it and the lore, but arguably one needs the other or are they a complement to one another? Are they the SAME person?? I'm just grasping at random thoughts here. I'm sure the fanlore or actual mythology might be more interesting. In the meanwhile have this as a constant reminder of that dynamic always at hand. Also comes with a neat dog tag with the show's title.

Instagram Image Sizes

So I had an issue with my code snippet posting on instagram
https://www.instagram.com/codenlife/

Where the template I had used initially resulted in text that was too small to be legible.
So basically it came down to the different size formats and how it could trip up the unwary poster.
Here are the different resolutions available:

Square

Max Resolution: 1080 x 1080
Aspect ratio: 1:1

Both sides are equal and can range from 600 x 600 to 1080 x 1080.
Anything larger than 1080x1080 will be resized to fit and anything smaller than 600 x 600 is not
recommended at all as quality will suffer.

Landscape

Max Resolution: 1080 x 566
Aspect ratio: 16:9

Horizontal side is longer than the vertical.
This is the one I used originally resulting in tiny illegible text.
This one takes the least amount of visible space on the page. Offering
the least screen real estate of the three.

Portrait 

Max Resolution: 1080 x 1350
Aspect ratio: 4:5

Vertical side is longer than the horizontal.
This could be an ideal candidate for say an infographic or anything that requires more length area.

For the purposes of code snippets using a square format is the best option it fits precisely within Instagram's crop area so as not to require much adjusting compared to the others.
