Adding animated GIFs to blogger


One of the main annoying limitations of blogger is that it does not allow to post animated gifs to the post.The good news is that the Picasa Web Albums , Google service where you stored the images posted on Blogger supports animated images in GIF format.

The problem is that the HTML image, generated automatically by default post editor of Blogger, displays a thumbnail and not the original file hosted on Picasa.Because of that the animation does not work.

This problem can be solved by editing the HTML manually by Replacing the URL of the image displayed in the post with the URL of the link created automatically by Blogger.

In the example below are highlighted respectively: The URL of the original image (green) and the URL of the thumbnail generated by the Blogger post editor (in red):

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href=" http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mUT2piLt5H0/S8XXw_5DCdI/AAAAAAAANZU/ugV2mhfq2QU/s1600/YouTubeLoad.gif " imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src=" http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mUT2piLt5H0/S8XXw_5DCdI/AAAAAAAANZU/ugV2mhfq2QU/s320/YouTubeLoad.gif " width="320" /></a></div>

 Just replace the address highlighted in red with the address highlighted in green and the animated image will appear on your blog.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href=" http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mUT2piLt5H0/S8XXw_5DCdI/AAAAAAAANZU/ugV2mhfq2QU/s1600/YouTubeLoad.gif " imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src=" http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mUT2piLt5H0/S8XXw_5DCdI/AAAAAAAANZU/ugV2mhfq2QU/s1600/YouTubeLoad.gif " width="320" /></a></div>

Now this code(with both green url ) will difinately work.
