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:

  1. Go to Google, search for what you want. For example "funny cat GIF."
  2. Click "view image"
  3. Copy the web address at the top (make sure it ends in ".gif")
  4. Paste it into this code: <img src="https://yourlink.gif">  (you do not need the quotations)
  5. 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:

  1. Follow steps 1-3 above
  2. Click the green icon in The Bump area where you type (looks like a photo of a tree)
  3. Paste your link
  4. Press submit - voila!
Remember...with GIF power comes great responsibility. Always GIF responsibly.
