If anyone reading this blog is familiar at all with self hosted WordPress sites they may know of a plugin called Jetpack provided by WordPress themselves. You connect your blog to WordPress.com which can be quite handy for more than a few items, such as spam protection, the option to syndicate your posts to social media websites the moment you make your blog post, and more where that came from. One thing they’ve been pushing with the newest version of WordPress is the new Gutenberg post editor, and they sent me an email to get me hyped about an all new feature that would totally be worth switching to Gutenberg for… FUCKING GIFS!!
Animated images — also known as GIFs — have become one of the hottest social media tools.
Whoa, you mean to tell me that GIFS… a picture format that was invented around the time I came into being…. is now a hot young social media tool? That’s oddly appropriate since most people in my age group at work happen to be tools on social media!
They tell a story, add humor and emotion, and can create a lasting impression on millions of readers.
The newest version of Jetpack adds a GIF block for the new editor, putting the world’s largest GIF library at your fingertips.
Perhaps I’ll give Gutenberg another shot at some point just to see the gif selection sometime in the not too distant future, if I’m bored enough…
Why say something with words when you can say it with a dancing turtle?
Wait, they taught Mitch McConnell how to dance? :morty: :rick:
