Gif Gadget

A cool little tool that I wanted to share. These folks at "Glickr" are part of flickr, no surprise, but you can upload right from your own files and not through flickr in order to make a gif animation.

Here's the link for the tool: http://gickr.com/

But the crummy part is the Blogger doesn't exactly animate it! See the picture to left, how it's not moving to the next picture. Turns out that for you to see my animation easily, you have to look elsewhere:

This is the easiest way around the problem, and other ways will have to be resolved in another post.

The slideshow/animation can add some pizazz to your website without encroaching on tacky. It's so easy because the tool handles making the show entirely. One thing I will want to do at a later date with my gif animation is edit my pictures in Photoshop in order to make them all have about the same appearance of being zoomed on the photographs; right now the women are of different sizes. I'll also use Photoshop to make all my images an oval shape. These nice design touches will make it better, but even as it is, I think it's nifty.

Who are these women in my animation? Part of my dissertation, I hope!
