I’m not seeing a whole lot of animated GIFs in webpage design these day. Maybe ocaisionally on a banner ad but not many animations of professionally designed websites. Animated Smilies can convey an emotion to a reader that you might not have been about to express with words or you just thought the graphic would be more entertaining. Well personally I think you can explain just about anything in words. The problem is that people don’t have the time or won’t take the time to write what they are really thinking.

I want to take the time. My command of the English language needs a bit of improvement at this time.

Animated GIFs used to be everywhere I went online now I think I mostly read content sites like BBs and forums so seeing alot animation is not likely. I still like flash and CGI type animations though.
