  1. Austin, THANK YOU - perfect timing too. I was going to be updating the Tech Tips today and this weekend, so I can add this into the mix. There's even a secret trick I found for making gifs run in Google Sites, so I will make sure to include that, this tip from you, and also a gif maker of some kind. Totally fun: thanks again!
