  1. I have no clue. I’m not the most tech savvy one around here. I bet you’ll get some tips from others though. Sorry. 😕

  3. I’m hoping the coding will show up in the comment. If you can’t see it, let me know and I’ll try again!

    Just replace image-link-here with the link to the image and take out the asterisks at the beginning and end of the code. That should do it!

    1. It won’t show it sweetheart maybe you can throw an astric in there so it will be off a little. Thanks so much for your help!!😊

      1. Trying this again. If it doesn’t work then I may have to find an image of the code lol. So sorry!

        The width must be 0-400 and the height must be 0-1000. Alt is the description of the image. All of them are optional but recommended.

        1. Okay that didn’t work again. Here’s a link that should go right to how to do it rather than trying to make this work!

  4. I’ve always want to do this but too lazy to do the steps… I think having a photobucket account can be helpful. :):) 🙂

    1. Thanks so much Lili for sharing! I was too lazy until now to figure it out. LOL

  5. I think I might know! You need to right mouse click on the gif you want and “copy link address.” Then if you look in the review you’ll see a cheat sheet for how to add images. Use that coding and it *should* add the gif.

  6. Hi 😀 I went on Google and found this : https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1726806-how-to-post-a-gif
    Hope this helps, it seems easy enough (although admittedly I’m a complete noob when it comes to technical stuff lol). But as your blog looks way cooler than my own, you are more technical than me. Anyway: think this is a good enough article. Have a great day 😘❤️

Hope this doesn’t mean that you are now experiencing the same problems but thought you should know at least.

    1. I use my blog, Goodreads, Instagram,Twitter, Tumblr,Amazon and Litsy. Lol. Just the more you spread the word the more it makes authors and publishers happy and helps approval sometimes with getting ARCs and helps build traffic on your blog.😉
