pretty nice but very still large file size for what it is. how many frames is there? i bet if u cut the number of frames in half u would not notice.

i just made a 25 frame animation and it was only 9 KBs obviously not as big as urs but still a decent size for a sig. i know im whinging but i couldnt use IE while ur pic was loading, which is frustrating.

the animation thingy in psp is very good indeed, try playing with the compression settings and see how much the file size drops. 1 thing that might be useful is knowing that u have a very colourful image which means the gif setting will have to be very high and not compressed. if u made an animation with say 2 colours, then u could maje it 100 frames with a tiny file size and it will still look the same.

maybe u already knew this? is so sorry.

when making things for the web, speed is the most important thing. its been proved that the optimal waiting time that someone is going to wait for something to load is 8 seconds! for modem users that is about 40Kb. anyway im just rambling on, enjoy ur day
