what do you guys think about me adding Gifs to all of my guides? I mean, will it be worth the pain and time invested?

by Gifs i mean for everything, not just skills. All the farming techniques that i have mentioned in several of my guides, advanced mechanism working, yada yada.

I am asking because it is going to take a ****-load of time to make them.

so, should i or shouldn't i ?

I'd say do it for the things which can be tricky or more advanced. Please don't do it for abilities. If need be link the valve test demonstrations or what not.
Your new diet for heroes; You will need 4 wards (cuz wards taste better), 1 set of tangoes, 1 mango, 1 cheese.
With this you can make a nice Tango Mango Cheese platter. You can wash this all down with a nice bottle of water, Can be flavoured with red, green, yellow, blue, purple AND GOLD!
Caution: Taking roshan 3 times is required.

Gifs are super heavy and it would take a lifetime to load one page. Use Webm if you choose to add those gifs.

The MLG Guide used a lot of gifs, but they were fairly short. I probably wouldn't put in any long gifs, and instead make a video and link that in.
There are two kinds of people in the world; those who can count, and those who can't.

I voted no, then i read the actual post. Can i change my answer?

For some reason when i see 'gif' i automatically think of unfunny rubbish. But gifs for hints and little mechanical tips, yeah sounds good!
