[Tutorial] How to add pictures and GIFs to your profile

Method #1 - Giphy

Pros: Easy, Can upload your own GIFs
Cons: No explicit GIFs

Steps:
1. Head over to Giphy and find a GIF you like. Once you find it, click it and find the panel on the right side that says "Embed"

2. Click the "Embed" link and copy the link generated

3. Paste the generated link into your profile (the image will "live" in whichever section you pasted it to) - I posted the link into my "Books" section, so that is where the GIF will appear.

4. You should now see the GIF on your profile!

Method #2 - Upload to ImgBB

Pros: Lightweight, reliable, no ads, can host explicit content
Cons: Requires a few more steps

Steps:
1. Find the image you want to post to your profile and head over to ImgBB

2. Click the blue "Start Uploading" button to open the file selection screen

2. Add your image and click the green "Upload" button

3. Once the upload completes, select the dropdown box and choose "HTML full linked"

4. Copy the code that generates

 5. Paste the code into your profile! This works identically for regular pictures and animated GIFs. Once again, the image will "live" in whichever profile section you pasted the link from Steps 3-4. I posted
the link into my "Heroes" section, so that is where the picture will appear.

If you have discord you can send them in a server or something and press "copy link" and place that as your link!
