I think everyone has the cutest pictures and avatars... I can't think of anything that great.

okay, well that banner WAS a blinkie... but for some reason... although it looks great on my computer, it comes out all small and distorted on the internet! (Erin, any guesses why?) so it will have to be just a picture now.
darn... cause I made one for each holiday this year too... now I can't use any of them. :wacko:

cindie, send it to me in an email! Maybe you're not using the right saved file or something basic like that? It could happen! ^_^

thanks!! I will when I get home from work today. :wub:

testing...
I KNOW this will work and I think I know EXACTLY what your problem is with your posted image!



**Yep, I previewed the post and it works great. So, I think you have to have .gif image uploaded and not a .jpg for it to be animated. So, it is probably just as simple as that! the image you sent to me ends in .gif but the one you have posted ends in .jpg. Get it? I know you do! :D

I don't understand how you got it to work... I made one in .jpg, since my .gif one wasn't working. maybe it's with photobucket? I don't know... cause I used photobucket as my picture host, but when I posted it on here, it came out horrible! so I took the image, went on Picture It, and made that .jpeg and that's the one I decided to use.
did you do anything with the animation to change it? I just can't believe it works for you! :o

I didn't do anything at all! I only uploaded it to my own server...and posted it here like all of my other images. Try it again with Photobucket and let me see how distorted it looks. Use the .gif on that one though, k?

okay... there it is! see how it gets smaller and ugly? I'm just not as great at making animations as you and Erin are!

Cindie... I want to say that your sig is soooo cute!!!!!! And I know why it is becoming distorted on photobucket. The original animated image is over 250 kb. Photobucket resizes anything over 250 kb!

oh wow Joyce! thank you!!! I'm glad you knew that! darn... I already did the whole year of holidays, too... now I have to redo them all! I never knew that about photobucket... that's yucky. oh well... they're pretty simple. I can't do complex animations, I stick to the easy!! :P
thanks again, Joyce!

Oh, but it's so easy to resize them all in animation shop...just make the first fram smaller and make all the rest the same size as the first in your wizard. :D I'm glad that it's figured out! I knew it was photoshop...your images are always very good, Cindie! I love collages a lot too and even have some, though I never have animated them!

oh! it looks like maybe photobucket upped the resize limit... it's now at 512 KB! (It says that on the upload page right above the submit button).

I worked on "resizing" this animation until it would work in photobucket... that's why the graphic is not really nice and smooth.

I love that one, Joyce! I noticed it in TS and I just thought it was sooo cute! I love all your CPKs. (Don't you just loooooove their SMELL???) :P

I haven't had a chance to resize mine yet... maybe this weekend.
