If you have visited around the forums lately, you have noticed the wonderful graphics that "Gravedigger" has put with his signiture. (Check out ANCHOR BAY-TALL SHIPS and FORUM ABOUT THESE FORUMS-WHO THE HECK IS)I think that they are the best of all on the forums.

Yes, Digger, I agree. As Tony would say, they're G-R-E-A-T!

Thanks for the nice compliments.
I was searching all the animated gif sites to put some on my website and found a few that I thought would be nice here on the forum. As you may have noticed, I like to change things around. Keeps the algae from growing in the pond.
That's what's bad about my job, Once I put things where they belong I have to leave them there for a long time.

Digger, I love to see what your signature will look like next!

Gravedigger without a doubt the best on this site.

Watch out this will stir the minds of many and we will begin to see some great graphics coming to this site.

Loved the lighthouse graphic!!

Where can I get one of those??

Keep up the great stuff Digger!

The graphics are fantastic. Not only where do you get them, But how do you do that? I bet it's a secret.

There are various ways to post .gif's and .jpg's. In my case, first I went to http://www.geocities.com and joined for a website (it's free and they give you 20 meg of free space. more than enough to post lots of images.). Then I searched for "animated .gifs" with infoseek (or any search feature) and just went to all the sites. When I found one I liked, I simply right-clicked on the image, and saved it to my hard drive. Then from my website, I uploaded the saved image and saved it on my website. Create a link to the website image and presto! Now I bet I have totally confused you! Don't worry, it's very easy. If I can do it, anyone can. There are many others here on the forum who are much more knowledgeable than me and they may be able to give an easier method. The method described above has worked very nice for me and is pretty easy once you get your website established. If you already have a website, then you're all set. Everything I do here, I learned here.

A word of warning folks.

You need to make sure you have the right to use these animated gifs. I am sure that no one wants to get John in trouble. A lot of them are free for using, but some require a fee or credit given to the creator of the animated gifs.

Yes, Paul is exactly right. I should have mentioned that. Most of the sites clearly state which ones you must give credit for. Make sure you read the opening statements carefully. Most allow you to use the graphics for personal non-comercial use. Use the animations as headers for text or titles, etc.. Do not just put a bunch of animations on an empty website. some consider that cataloging and won't allow it. Like I said, just read carefully. They are good at letting you know what you can or can't do.
