One common use of gif images is to display a scene from a movie, by using screenshots. Often, text or altered images will be used to make this satirical.
Example 1:
Example 2:
I often attempt to create my own gif images, and photoshop has been a big help in doing so.
Let's see if I am able to successfully upload and post a working gif image onto my blog!
Test 1: Uploading as an image from my desktop...

Test 2: Upload as a video from my desktop...
...Fail?
Just like with youtube, in order to upload a video directly from your desktop, you must select the file and wait for it to fully process. I waited 5 minutes for my 3mb gif file to process (a relatively small size) and it went nowhere.
If I had uploaded a "real" movie clip that was the same size, it would have probably uploaded by then, so I'm going to assume that Blogger doesn't accept gifs as videos.
Test 3: Upload gif to internet, link gif to Blogger...
Success! This seems to be the only way to make a gif work on here. Just upload gif to Tinypic.com as an image, and link it.
