i notice that many of you have adorable moving icons that dance, etc. how do you do that and where do you get them. of course my shell won't dance, but can it be made to do anything? (uh oh i can only imagine what i've gotten myself into with this last sentence.) thanks, jen

As long as it doesn't blink i'm cool.

There was a rumor that we aren't supposed to have animated icons, and if we do it's only supposed to be 2 slides...

I do believe this is what im talking about.. Check it out and good luck ;)

You had a pretty picture, you had a pretty smile, you had a heart of ice and you put me in denial. You broke my heart a thousand times, you broke my heart just once, you made me see all i need is me and not some stupid... girl.

hahaha! Actually....you can as long as you don't go past the magic limit of 5K. I use a combination of Paint Shop Pro 7 for the individual frames, and Animation Shop 3 for animation....only problem is that my animation shop 3 seems to be on the blink at the moment.

Caedes has set restrictions of "under" 5k filesize (and 60x60 pixels) so that the pages load faster .. and it is difficult to do anything in that filesize .. of course, understanding the software used for that would help .. which I didn't when I made mine blink at christmas

so .. it isn't that you're only allowed 2 slides .. but you'll be lucky to get more than that

Actually, this site has some pretty good animated icons under 5k. I actually used a couple of them till people started calling animated avatars annoying.

Yeah Keith, I know it's not a link! I don't have time for that nonsense right now!
