@nsLittle A couple of things..

1. When I suggest changes push them to the same branch (also good thing you created a separate branch as working on the main creates problems) this means no need to create a new PR every time.
2. You need to remove the images you had previously added to the media folder- logo.png, open-positions.png, and text-link.png.
3. Since you will be adding gifs, download the gif and add it to the media folder then link it in the following format
   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Codecademy/docs/main/media/ followed by the gif name.

@nsLittle I checked out the loom video link you added, and it's great that you took the time to create that. But for the gif, we expect something like the example here. I'm sure if you download and cut the video you can use that to create a gif using any video to gif website available.

I embedded gifs.

@nsLittle it is preferred that the gifs have no watermark, please let me know if you can remove that or if you need any help with doing so.

Can you please remove the previously added images from the media folders logo.png open-positions.png and text-link.png

[nsLittle]

.png files deleted. TY.

@nsLittle The gifs you are using have a watermark, is it possible to remove or blur them out? We prefer not to have watermarks on media.

My apologies. I wanted to only use free services, so I tried using Loom (it doesn't allow for free download, nor conversion to gif), and settled on using Vimeo (it allows for screen video plus conversion to gif, albeit with the watermark). I've searched around elsewhere, but seem to only come upon paid services. Do you know of any service, or set of services, that would allow me to videotape a browser window and turn the video into a gfi?

@nsLittle You can use Convertio to upload your video and convert it into a gif for free.

@nsLittle Were you able to get a watermark-free gif using @KTom101 's suggestion?

@nsLittle Due to lack of response on your end I will have to close this PR.
