Let's Make a FREE Blinkie

Most photo editing software usually has some form of animation, even if it is limited. However, if you have software that doesn't (or you have NO IDEA about that), here's a simple way to make a blinkie.

1. Create your slides (the images for each "blink" of the blinkie). For this example I made 6. The typical blinkie is 150 x 50 pxl. You should work in 1500 x 500, and when you are finished resize to the 150 x 50. Save each file separately.


2. Go to Picasion. For this lesson I chose Picasion, because it is SUPER EASY!


3. Upload your images in the order you want them in the slide show. You may add up to 10 images.
4. After inserting all your images, click CREATE ANIMATION.
5. When your blinkie is finished, you can select a choice of Image URL or HTML Code to post on your blog. I prefer to select the Image URL code.
6. Go to CUSTOMIZE/LAYOUT/PAGE ELEMENTS/ADD A GADGET. Select HTML/Java Script. When the element pops up, just add or Image URL that you copied from the code.
7. IF YOU WANT TO ADD A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) like your blog address to the blinkie, then follow Step 6 and instead of choosing HTML/Java Script, select PICTURE. You can add your blinkie and the web address of your choice.

When you are finished, you have a BLINKIE!

Here's to more happy scrapping, and
Hugs from the heart,
Jeanette

    Jeanette,
    Thank you for your comments on my blog. By the way, I love your blog. Great information and so cute. I do have a question for you: How do I post html code for people to easily grab my blinkie - as you have done? Each time that I've tried it will not appear as text. How did you do it?

    Hello there... I'm back... I tried using the "Image URL" as you suggested and just paste it after opening the HTML/Java Script but it doesn't show up in my blog....instead it is the image url ....

    I tried the 2nd option but an error message from blogger appears...

    I hope you can enlighten me on this one... thanks as always...


    Love Always,

    Today I used this tutorial. Thank you! Thank you! I told everyone about this post so they can make their own blinkies too... And Cajun, to link mine I opened the image URL, right clicked to "copy image" and then pasted in blogger. From there I highlighted the image and linked it to my site. Then I copied the html. Voila. I figured out how to post the html for others to pick up the blinkie too. Links to instructions are at the bottom of my site: http://grannyenchanted.com/ Thanks Easy Custom Blogs!!

    When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Appreciate it!

      I do not know which is your original message to delete it. Also, you should be able to unsubscribe every time you get an email. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
