great way of expressing your creativity online is through animated gifs. These are small graphic files often embedded in websites and such like. You can customise your own for free at GIFWorks.com.
Click the Free online GIF tools link at the top to begin. It is a bit small but it opens a page outlining your options with a few tips to get started.
Click File and Open image to get started on your GIF, which you can pull from the web or your PC's hard drive. Remember kids, it has to be a GIF, either animated or not. There is also a link to the Animation Factory website here, where you will find oodles of royalty free images if you are stuck for some content to play around with.
Once you have uploaded your GIF you can perform a lot of standard editing features online, such as cropping, resizing, colourising and adding special effects. Pretty soon you will have a GIF that is perfect for the space you want to place it. Just click save and use one of the two options to store it on a remote FTP site or on your computer's hard drive.
One funky little feature I like is the ability to make your own animated text banners and buttons. Just choose New 3D Text under the File menu and then scroll through the options in the page that now opens to complete.
