About

We’re the team behind Stories in Stone, and we’ve made it our mission to decode the ever-evolving puzzle that is Instagram and Facebook Stories. Think of us as your digital detectives, social media translators, and that friend who somehow always knows which button to press when technology decides to have a tantrum.

Our Origin Story (Pun Intended)

Our journey began when we realized that despite billions of people using Instagram and Facebook Stories daily, finding clear, accurate answers to seemingly simple questions was like searching for a needle in a haystack made of outdated forum posts and conflicting advice. We noticed that most resources either assumed you were a complete beginner or a social media wizard with no middle ground—leaving millions of users stuck in digital limbo.

So we rolled up our sleeves, dove deep into the platforms’ ever-changing features, and started creating the resource we wished existed when we were fumbling through our first attempts at story creation. Drawing from experience in content optimization for major social platforms2, we understood that users needed more than just basic tutorials—they needed comprehensive, reliable guidance that could keep pace with constant platform updates.

What We’re All About

We believe that mastering Instagram and Facebook Stories shouldn’t require a computer science degree or endless hours of trial and error. Whether you’re a casual user who just wants to share your morning coffee without accidentally posting it to your Close Friends list, or a marketing professional trying to crack the code of story engagement analytics, we’ve got your back.

Our approach combines thorough research, hands-on testing, and a healthy dose of humor because let’s face it—sometimes you need to laugh to keep from crying when the platform decides to move that button you’ve been clicking for months. We’ve learned that blending entertainment with education makes complex topics more digestible1, which is why you’ll find our guides both informative and engaging.

Our Expertise Areas

Instagram Stories Mastery: From the basics of creating your first story to advanced techniques like using interactive stickers strategically, we cover everything. We’re the ones who test every new feature the moment it rolls out, figure out why your Stories might not be appearing in the right order, and explain why sometimes your music options seem limited (hint: it’s probably not your fault).

Facebook Stories Navigation: While Facebook Stories might seem like Instagram’s quieter sibling, they have their own quirks and capabilities. We help you understand the subtle differences, privacy implications, and unique features that make Facebook Stories a valuable tool in their own right.

Technical Troubleshooting: When technology fails, we’re here with solutions. We’ve encountered virtually every error message, glitch, and mysterious disappearing feature these platforms can throw at users. Our troubleshooting guides are born from real problems and tested solutions.

Strategic Implementation: Beyond just knowing how features work, we help you understand when and why to use them. Whether you’re building a personal brand or managing business accounts, we provide context for making informed decisions about your story strategy.

Our Content Philosophy

We believe in actionable advice over theoretical concepts. Every guide we publish is designed to help you accomplish something specific, whether that’s “how to save someone else’s Instagram Story” or “understanding Facebook Story privacy settings without getting a headache.” We test everything ourselves because we’ve learned that platforms don’t always work exactly as their help documentation suggests.

Our content is structured to respect your time and attention. We know you probably didn’t come here to read a novel about social media—you came here to solve a problem or learn something new. That’s why we organize information logically, use clear headings, and get straight to the point while still providing comprehensive coverage.

We also understand that these platforms evolve constantly. A feature that worked one way last month might function completely differently today. That’s why we maintain our content actively, updating guides when platforms change and creating new resources as features are introduced.

What Makes Us Different

Real-World Testing: We don’t just read press releases and regurgitate information. We actually use these features, encounter the same frustrations you do, and find practical solutions. When we say something works, it’s because we’ve made it work ourselves.

User-Focused Approach: We write for real people with real questions, not for algorithms or academic audiences. If you’re wondering whether people can see when you view their Story highlights, we’ll give you a straight answer without making you read through paragraphs of background information first.

Comprehensive Coverage: We don’t just cover the popular topics. We also address those oddly specific questions that keep you up at night, like “what happens if I accidentally react to a Story with the wrong emoji” or “why do some accounts’ Stories show up first in my feed.”

Practical Context: We explain not just how to do something, but when you might want to do it and what the implications are. Understanding the mechanics is only half the battle—knowing the strategy completes the picture.

Our Promise to You

When you visit Stories in Stone, you can expect accurate, up-to-date information that’s been thoroughly researched and tested. We promise to explain things clearly without talking down to you or assuming you have extensive technical knowledge. We’ll admit when something is unclear or when platforms haven’t provided definitive answers to common questions.

We’re committed to maintaining the most current information possible in a landscape that changes frequently. When Instagram introduces a new story feature or Facebook adjusts its privacy settings, we’re often among the first to test it, understand it, and explain it in plain English.

Most importantly, we promise to keep things interesting. Social media might be serious business for many people, but that doesn’t mean learning about it has to be boring. We’ll continue to inject personality and humor into our content while never compromising on accuracy or usefulness.
