How do you make animated gifs? I really need to know.

[size=1]You need several frames--the pieces you want to animate. For example, each different picture in the hamster gif there is a seperate frame. There's a frame of him sitting there, several of him eating, one of him lying on the ground, etc. Like individual pages in a flip book.

When you have each frame, you need a program that will let you stack them on top of eachother and "flip" through them. (I have a mac, and don't know any easily-obtainable programs that you could use/might already have.) [/size]

or you can use image ready. You can have a starting frame and an ending frame then use the tween feature. Its great for simple animations.
