  I understand embedding forms/iframes/JS etc isn’t allowed due to safety reasons, but is this function available if you upgrade?

  If not, have other users found a way of easily embedding or implementing gifs into their web pages?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  embedding or implementing gifs into their web pages?

  Yes .gif is an accepted file type. In order for an animated gif to play, it must be full size when you upload it. If you crop after uploading it will not work.

  Make sure the gif is no larger than the maximum width for your theme’s post area or exactly where you want to place it. If it is, then resize it on your computer before uploading it.

  You cannot use iframes, it’s against the WordPress policies.

  I can’t believe it didn’t even occur to me to just save the file and upload like an image. Must have been staring at the screen for too long!

  Unfortunately I don’t understand what rank/mark estimator you mean.

  Please create your own topic and somebody may be able to help.
