Animated Avatars

How do you animate an avatar?

I see some avatars that either have flashing lights, or characters/scenes that change.

You can go to GIFworks ...www.gifworks.com... I think, and work with pictures there. Not sure if it costs anything or not. I've heard it's free for the most part.

You can also find animated GIFs all over. Just do a google search for .gif or animated gifs. There's lots out there for freebies.

Maybe I'll try again.

Could be a lose nut in front of my screen.

Try uploading the aminated critters to photobucket, then post the url or img code in your avatar. That should make the gif work. Or did you already do dat? Some gifs work directly from my puter but others, depending on where they are going, don't.

under thy picure, once uploaded, there appears three boxes of code below it.

Image code, Url Code and one other.
