  HI i am trying to get a moving animated gif (which i created) on the sidebar up the top.
  I have seen it on other sites but i don’t know if it is a gif. But i would really like to get this to work.

  My website is: http://jezh42.wordpress.com/
  The image i would like to use is this: http://goo.gl/UgWE1

  I shortened the image URL because it is a picasa and the link is big.

  Thx.

  Animated GIFs lose the animation when resized. You need to create a version of the image that will fit in your sidebar without being downsized (maximum 302px wide).

  Google for GIF resizing tools, or create the GIF anew the way you originally created it.

  I guess it will, but I haven’t tried it to tell for sure.

  You’re welcome!
  By the way, why don’t you upload the image to your blog? (Media > Add New: upload, copy URL, paste that URL in the widget.)
