               PLACING ANIMATED GIFS INTO POSTS & WEB PAGES
 
 I'm not sure how much you know about saving files to your computer
 so I will start from scratch. It seems like it is difficult but it isn't really.
 Once you get it down it only takes a few seconds to add what ever you want
to your emails or to posts.
     First thing you need to do is create a new folder on your desktop
this is the easiest place to find the files after you have saved them.
    RIGHT CLICK on your desk top a window will open  
 scoll down to NEW and then select FOLDER.
 
                                                                                                       
 
 
                        Now you have the opportunity to name the folder
name it so you will know what it is.
 Now you have a place to store your pictures.
    Find a picture you would like to save and right click
on the pic and choose SAVE PICTURE AS
  
At the top of the window that pops up you will see SAVE IN
 click IN that window   you should see a list of places.
 Clik on DESKTOP you will now see every thing that you have on your desktop
   
 
  double click that folder and name your picture then     CLICK  SAVE
 
       Now you have just saved your first pic into that folder
     you can save as many as you like in there.
Now if you want to classify your pictures  i.e 
          "animals" "dividers" "nature" etc. simply click inside your
                     new folder and make another folder like you did on the desktop
           That simplifies finding the pic you want.  
 
STEP 2
  Now you have some pics.............
   When replying to a post, at the top of the window there is a little
square thing with what looks like mountains in it.
 CLICK ON THAT........a window will open up
 
At the top you will see 3 things......click on MY COMPUTER 
 
it will change and you will see BROWSE click on that.
 
   To find your pictures click IN the window that says LOOK IN
 and once again click on DESKTOP and find your folder with the pics in it.
(don't get confused here ok, it just so happens that the name of the picture
I'm inserting here is named browse, I can click on any of those names
 and insert those also, I am actually DOING this as I write it)
   DOUBLE CLICK your folder find the pic you want
 and DOUBLE CLICK it.
You will now see the file name in the window next to BROWSE
 
you're almost done!! 
 
 Now all you need to do is click on ADD PHOTO
 
it will take a few seconds and then the window will disappear
and you will see your picture on your post.
 You will need to experiment with the placement of your cursor
 in order to get the picture placement correct.
 If you decide you don't want that pic
simply BACKSPACE a couple of times to delete it
 or click on the picture and then hit delete and repeat the process.
