Description If it doesn't load right, hitting refresh then waiting a few seconds might work.

Visually, it sucks. But it gets its point across. (hopefully)

I don't know how to make preloaders, so if it doesn't load right I'm sorry. I spend a whole lot of time on it, and it turned out looking stupid but I hope it's informative. Please tell me about any spelling errors, or if anything has been left out. Oh, and tell me if everything makes sense, or if it's impossible to understand. I'm sorry about the places where the text and images get fuzzy, I don't know how to fix it. I really don't know that much about flash. At all. So if nothing else, at least I got some practice.

btw, in case you're wondering about all "teh awesom" fonts, I got them at DA font, which is a cool site for free fonts . I like sitting there and looking for the swirly ones.

oh, I forgot, if you want a trial of Ulead Gif Animator 5 you can get it Here

heh thats pretty good, nicely done. I think you need to explain to these people how to use a mouse and save files properly next...

<.< I mean sheesh, no offence but making little gifs isn't the hardest thing in the world, your still probably going to be asked by hundreds of morons OMG HOWD U DO DAT!? but now you can be like BAM! *post link to this tutorial* and they'll just sit there with their mouths wide open in awe.. and then everyone joins hands, forms a circle around that person and laughs at them. How exciting

Yeah, most people can figure it out on their own, but some go to the point of noting me, asking me how I make them. I think the most intelligent response I've given is "uh...you take the little circles, and move them around a bit, make them dance and stuff".

So now whenever someone asks how I do it, BAM! Linked.

But really, I don't see how people have trouble with gifs. I just got an animator and slowly figured it out on my own. I sucked at first, but I never bugged people for lessons.

Yes, I think I will make a tutorial on proper mouse useage All too often mouses are improperly used and abused.

I don't know if you ever go to the programming forum, but some common threads are "how do i get myself an avotore" or "how to make animated icon????;" (along with the classic, "howdo i make a picture of my screen", to which the response "omg i thought prntscrn was broken cuz it wouldent print lol!" is not uncommon.

I once went through the motions of explaining to some moron how to make an animated GIF of three frames using GIF Movie Gear, which I reckon is one of the simplest things to use for animated GIFs. I went to great detail, but failed. I bet even my dad, who sees computers as Enemies, would have been able to understand that.

Why are there so many MORONS?

Probably because as long as there's smart people there'll be dumb people. :[ Otherwise what would they be smart in comparison to?

Very smart. I don't have the gear to make the emoticons, but just the outline of the tutorial was nice.

Wow, that's fabulous. There are a few places where the little hover buttons get mixed up on who's supposed to show, but it still works and everything is explained in such detail that it really helps. So glad you assume that we don't even know to save the file in two formats. I didn't used to w/my Photoshop files and then didn't keep the JPG after I put the picture on the web. I've sense then regretted it!!! >_< '

Love your little emote background. I wanted to just stare at it instead of reading the text. lol.

Well, maybe ONE of these days I'll make a still emote, but I don't think I have the patience to do a moving one. But if I get a really good idea, I know how to do it now. ^_^ Thanks.

--Love and Peace!!!
