*sobs* Don't quote me~~ How am I supposed to stay under the radar!? My anonymous heart doesn't like being in the open!!
Hanging up on a wall right? Hooks, as in, actual curved hooks aren't all that appropriate for frames unless you use framing wire, and cheap frames don't always have the loops for attaching wire. The non-flat thumb tacks can work, but only for fairly lightweight things and they'll stick out from the wall a bit farther (which, sometimes I like that effect). Ummm... We always just used a nail though. Most frames have these ridged bars on the back for hanging, and nails fit right into those grooves. It gives you some room to fidget the frame about so it hangs straight. (I feel like I could do some awful picture tutorial on this; I have so many pictures and paintings hung up by different means, orz I'm so laaaame. )
You totally didn't want a tl;dr on that. My bad. *facedesks*
