my own animated .gif test ...


Following in the footsteps of the master ... I hope this works!

well ... it did work, and Ellis helped a "playah" out by posting it on his Web site so I could grab a URL to post with. Yaaaay, Ellis. I'd like you even if you didn't Win the Star Trek Challenge ...

  1. Okay ... I can see the animation when I click to show the full view, but not in the thumbnail ... Ellis ... any ideas why THAT should be ... everything else you did turned out okay! ;-)

  2. I typically publish all this animating stuff to my own urls by publishing to my web page space. Then I cut and paste the url in the blogger slot for art with an url. That's probably the diff. You're letting Blogger create a placeholder by using them as the spacekeeper and they must have a default procedure that strips the anims and turns out thumbnails as a PING. So if you got some odd server space you regularly publish
    to, use that FTP procedure to get an URL. If not , send it to me and I'll publish it and send you the URL to use.

  3. Nifty... I may just have to try that out myself... when my life is my own again, in about a month or so.

  4. Yes. It is fun. I'm going to now change the art so it is a satellite and also animate some facial elements changing and a shadow cast by the satellite for each frame ... The most fun you can have sitting down ... (wow ... did I actually type that??).
