What exactly are GIFs? They are fun, expressive and humorous snippets of images and videos strung together to make a statement, evoke an emotion or laugh. You’ve seen them all over Steemit. And, they are waaaaay easier to use and even create than you think. Share this powerful tool with other minnows to help them create posts that POP!
Step-by-step video tutorial on how to create your own original GIF
Things you should know
- The website is www.Giphy.com.
- You can drag and drop images into the GIF maker one at a time or do what I did and highlight and drag them all over at once.
- Make sure you resize your images so that they aren’t so big. Keep in mind, the bigger the file, the slower it loads. Don't stress. Just test it out and make sure it works.
- Most importantly, have FUN! Explore the site! Maybe you'll see something that will inspire you to write.
Strategically place it
After you find a GIF you want to use, or once you create a GIF, simply copy the GIF link and paste it into your post, the same way you drop in a YouTube link.

2.)

In this case, I want to place my GIF link right underneath the Where to Place your GIF Link heading above.
