After re-modeling the forums and opening a new "site" section, I thought I'd kick it off with a tip about a tradition here on this site!

One of our members, Nick, sent me a message with this question: Hey so on every blog post, there is a animation. How do you find those?

Here was my reply/answer: Well so somebody notices! I always love to make each blog post special with a little animation. Intechnical terms, the animated images are called "animated gifs" becausethe extension of the image is ".gif", unlike normal images such as".png" or ".jpg." Now, I normally just happen to stumble upon it andget lucky to find an image that fits! So what I recommend for you is tojust type in what you're sort of looking for.. example... the simpsons!Just google "the simpsons gif" or "the simpsons animated gif" etc andjust check out sites and you'll be surprised of what's out there!

Well I hope that helps out with anyone who wants to go that route, and let me know if you need any help with finding some gifs... they're some funny ones out there!
