Where to find and use animated graphics

I see a lot of these things but I don't know where to search for them and then load to my signature.
Any help is appreciated.

Try this site http://www.geocities.com/SiliconVall...034/pages.html

They do not allow linking to their site but you can copy them from this site onto your own and then link to them.

Here are a couple to get everyone ready for tomorrow

BlueFlareside,
Thanks for the info. I checked it out but couldn't figure out how to link.
Also, how would one create one? Is it a complicated Java program or something like that?

SkullandBolts,

You have to do a right mouse click on the animated gif from that site, save it to your computer (save picture as), upload it to a hosting site (I use this site's gallery...see https://www.f150online.com/galleries/new.cfm), then place an image tag in your post here.

I have made a couple of animated gif files but it has been a couple of years. There are freeware programs to do it. Go to http://www.hotfiles.com and type in Animated gif in the search box.

Basically animated gif's are made up of more than one image cycled together to make it animated (kind of like a cartoon).

Thumbs up Here's another idea

Go to www.animatedgifs.com for several sites or to www.animationfactory.com which is where I got my cow gif. They have tons there - be sure you check all gifs w/in a category. You have to click more I think. It was fun checking them out - took me awhile just to see what they offered! Good luck!

Thanks for the link Cowlady. Spent some time with it and will try to post with one now. Was looking for a New England Patriots logo but had to settle for a football. Anyone know where to find sports logos?

Happy 4th to all Americans and a Happy Wednesday to the rest of the F150online community. I can't wait for tomorrow. Maybe this color scheme will go away. Far TOO busy! ennis
