How to post animated gif to Facebook?
To make the gifs work on Facebook you have to get the exact address of the image. This is the only way it works now. Blame Facebook. To get the exact address in Explorer you right click, go to Properties, than you will see the Address URL of the image. Copy and paste that into Facebook. In Firefox right click, select Copy Image URL than go ahead and paste this url into your feed. The image should appear moving. Sometimes the gif will not work the first time. I then reload the page and paste again and it works. See it in action on my Facebook Page. Also to note the best gifs for facebook are most square or rectangle ones. If the image is too tall Facebook resizes it funny. It's a bit of work to finagle this but the result looks cool.
