Blog Buttons: Blinkies aka Animated gifs

Oh my goodness... I have been wanting to post a graphic I made a couple weeks ago for my friend Nester over at Nesting Place. So I made very simple 2-frame animation buttons in Photoshop. But I couldn't figure out how to export it. Thankfully, my friend Todd is a *real* graphic designer (as opposed to me who, I guess, is a fake one???). He so graciously told me how to take my animation from stuck in my computer files to YOU.

Do you love Nester as much as I do? Then you need her button! Aren't they cute? Just copy and paste the code below the one you want! The first one is static, and the the others are animated.

my digital camera hates me right now so I cant take a picture but I did this in my dining room and am very, very happy!!! You are correct, fringe can hide a multitude of mistakes and the tacks really do the trick. Now Im on to my window in my kitchen too...I love fast, simple, cheap and lovely looking
