    Hey there, BuzzFeeders! So you've signed up for an account but need a little photo help. No problem, we are here for you!

    Before we get started, please have a look at our Guidelines!

    Also, BuzzFeed is no longer supporting new posts from Community Brand Publisher accounts, which include any accounts with a political, commercial, or self-promotional agenda. You can learn more about our new guidelines for brands and Community accounts here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/community/brands.

    These are some of the websites that allow embeds:

    *Tumblr*

    *Twitter*

    All I want is to dip every inch of Matt Bomer's body in whole fat cream cheese & devour him between 2 toasty slices of cinnamon raisin bagel

    *Instagram*

    *Imgur*

    OK, next. Want beautiful, hi-res images for travel posts, motivational posters, or something alike? Flickr Commons is a great resource!

    If Flickr Commons isn't working for you, you can give Wiki Commons a try!

    The credit should look like this:

    And finally, and probably most importantly, GIFs! Giphy.com is an amazing platform for these.

    The credit should look like this:
