can I replace an img file in my html code with a gif file?

I like the look of my website html code after the course, but want to have animation. Can I, for example, use a gif file in place of an img file, and thereby where the picture was that space is now animated ?

Hey Mike,

Absolutely you can! All you have to do is change the src of the image to the new gif picture. It is the exact same as having another type of image file, except that the gif will be animated :P

Thank you! I will try to get a hold of a free .gif maker or maybe break down and buy photoshop.

No problem, Mike! That sounds good. I don't know of any good gif makers, but I'm sure the internet has a wealth of programs available :P
