If you're new, you may be asking yourself questions like...
- What is a GIF party?
- How do I get one of those gloriously funny moving pictures in my post?
- What the heck is a GIF?
Well, look no further...
A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) image is a sized down clip of a video. In short, a GIF "is a graphic image on a Web page that moves - for example, a twirling icon or a banner with a hand that waves or letters that magically get larger." Click this link for the nerdy info.
This is a GIF of a waving bear, a personal favorite of mine.
Here's how to join in the fun:
From your phone:
- Go to Google, search for what you want. For example "funny cat GIF."
- Click "view image"
- Copy the web address at the top (make sure it ends in ".gif")
- Paste it into this code: <img src="https://yourlink.gif"> (you do not need the quotations)
- You can also click and hold the image on some phones and choose "copy URL," which does the same thing as copy and pasting the link.
From a computer:
- Follow steps 1-3 above
- Click the green icon in The Bump area where you type (looks like a photo of a tree)
- Paste your link
- Press submit - voila!
Remember...with GIF power comes great responsibility. Always GIF responsibly.
Whew! All that explaining has me thirsty!

I'm giving this a try... and I love this because it seems like something my cats would do!
Woot! Finally, success.

Did I type out the code correctly this time?
ETA: FINALLYYYYY!!! Cannot wait to utilize this on many more occasions lol
Testing....
Testing again..
ETA: I'm done trying...I cannot gif from my iPhone
Here's how I do it on mobile to make it a little easier maybe...
Step One: copy the tag from the very first post here. I have this saved in a note on my phone. I copy and paste it into the text box here.
Step Two: Find GIF and get URL. You should be able to do this by holding down on the image and hitting copy.
Step Three: Do something similar to the picture I posted. Get rid of the quotes, URL after the equal sign and before the less than sign...
Yay! - mobile sucks... So this isn't as clear as I would like, but if anyone needs help I'm here.
