Not really that hard to do, you can also use other sites or upload to the site but I prefer SmugMug so I dont have to keep copies everywhere...
This is for a Windoze PC, I don't post from mobile or tablets as they vary too much from maker to maker...
I normally take my photos on my phone and use the SmugMug app to upload, any posting I do when I get home...

Step 1 Upload your picture to SmugMug;

Choose Upload

Just looks like it, once you get the gallery setup it's not that bad...
Most of these happen on the same tab, I just have them drawn out click by click...
Plus you can dump several pics at a time into SmugMug...
When I post pics I normally have two tabs open in chrome anyway...
