Anybody know a simple way?

Am starting with a TEXT post and trying to add gifs, but it’s not working. Text Editor is HTML. So where’s the damn elusive plus sign? I want to mix gifs and text instead of a string of gifs and a long block of text. Interspacing these would be wonderful. Answers thoughts or insight appreciated at Satyress2005@yahoo.com. Thanks

Addendum: Problem solved. Thanks to ClaireRogueQuandry and love-girl-vs-girl for all their help. Turns out, you need to do the editing in your FIRST / PRIMARY Blog to get the little plus sign and be able to add gifs and text intersperced. Only after the elements are all in, you can turn it to a post in your secondary blog title (My first blog was eroticsensualbattle and my second was Sexfighters).
