GIF-tastic - making animated nonsense!

   [Note beforehand - I really understand that this process works better as a visual one. I am going to work on making a video showing these steps that I will upload here soon! ]
 
   So, I have found a new obsession. I have found that I adore making animated .gif files. In the spirit of this new hobby I figured I would share what I know about .gifs and how you can start the process of making your own. I will admit that making .gifs requires some rather un-easy to acquire software, but I can also show you how to get free trials of the programs you need.
