How do I use a PGN file?

Hello, I want to display a game of mine on this site and decided to download a PGN of it. After downloading the PGN file, I went to "Insert position or game", then selected "Game or sequence of moves" and then I selected PGN file. I dragged the PGN file from my Downloads folder and when I released the mouse it shows this : [Event "Live Chess"]

[Site "Chess.com"]
[Date "2011.12.01"]
[White "Boru45"]
[Black "Scandi17"]
[Result "0-1"]
[WhiteElo "1344"]
[BlackElo "1423"]
[TimeControl "20|2"]
[Termination "Scandi17 won by resignation"]

1.d4 g6 2.c4 Nf6 3.d5 d6 4.Bg5 Bg7 5.Nf3 Bf5 6.Nc3 O-O 7.e3 Nbd7 8.Bd3 Bxd3 9.Qxd3 Nc5 10.Qc2 Re8
 11.b4 Nce4 12.Bxf6 Nxf6 13.Rd1 e6 14.dxe6 Rxe6 15.O-O Qe8 16.c5 dxc5 17.bxc5 Re7 18.Rd3 Rd8 19.Rfd1 Rxd3 20.Rxd3 Rd7
 21.Nd4 Ng4 22.Qd2 Ne5 23.Ne4 Nxd3 24.Qxd3 f5 25.Ng5 Bxd4 0-1

That is my game, but what do I do next?

Download Baba chess graphical user interface from http://www.babaschess.net/download.asp , and then In the file menu, open PGN to open your pgn file.

Brother. Read the whole paragraph on my first post. It does wonders.

Fair enough. It was 07.43 when I posted and I had to leave for work by 07.55.

 

1. Click "PGN"

 

2. "Open with" Notepad/Wordpad

 

3. Highlight and copy everything in text document

 

4. Click the little chess board:

 

 

 

5. Select "Game or sequence of moves"

 

6. Paste contents of text document into "Use PGN file" window.

 

7. Edit as appropriate

 

8. Hit "Insert"
