How to Make GIFs for LiveJournal
LiveJournal is a blogging and journaling social network and community, similar to WordPress. You can make GIFs for LiveJournal with any image editing application, such as Adobe Photoshop or Fireworks, and upload GIFs to your pages on LiveJournal, as with other social networking sites. However, Microsoft Paint is installed by default with the Windows operating system. Make GIFs to use on your LiveJournal blog without any additional software installations using Microsoft Paint.
