Liana making cat face in animated gifWe're living in the era of the GIF. When any brief snippet of video can be turned into an endlessly looping animation that becomes a facsimile of thoughts and emotions in online forums.

This year has already given us a treasure trove of new GIFs. On Funny Or Die, James Van Der Beek updated his infamous "Dawson Crying" GIF with a series of new animations called "Van Der Memes." And the web circulated GIFS of shirtless U.S. soccer star Benny Feilhaber, snatched from a YouTube video titled "Benny Feilhaber Mimes 'No Air."

But we know how frustrating it can be browse the web without the perfect GIF in your arsenal. We've created a couple of GIFs of our own, and want to arm you with the ability to do the same. Here are the steps we took.
