  I created a animated gif for my contact page, the gif works when I upload it in the page but will not work when I update and actually try to view it on the site. Any suggestions?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That is because you resized it. It will not animate unless it’s uploaded and posted at the original size.

  In other words, you need to create a new version of the GIF, at the right pixel width for the theme you’re using (for Yoko, less than 738px wide).

  The original gif is SMALLER than it is displayed on the blog. They need to not resize it at all, it will fit fine but be smaller.

  Thanks. Huh, guess my browser resized it. “not a bug, a feature” sure, sure.
