I'm probably just overlooking something, but I can't figure out how to get my chess game in one of my posts.  I press the button, then I check off the game circle, and then it asks for one of three things.  PGN, FEN(?), or board editor.  From my game, I got the PGN, and it shows up as an icon on my desktop.

 From here, I'm lost.  What do I do from here?

do you mean it shows as an icon in the comment box?

Find the PGN file on your desktop. Right click on it, select "open with." And open it with 'notepad.'

 

The text that appears should look something like:

---

[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "?"]
[Black "?"]
[Result "*"]

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6

Now, go back to Chess.com and make a post. When you press the checkard "insert game" button in a post...it'll prompt you for several game types. Click the game circle. Now, it'll ask you for three things: PGN, FEN and board editor. Copy the above text into the "PGN" option. That should do it :)
