Making, or already have a BSO here ??
Baffled at how to make a banner for it ??
I was - then I got it done in 10 minutes flat - easy peasy.
The info needed was NOT easy to find - searched here, and all over, and found loads of confusing and useless krap - and then I got helped by a friend.
Phew.
Now I'm posting it so that other good members here will not have to waste loads of time searching for this info.
Here you go:
1. Make 1 JPG image for each frame desired.
Use whatever app you prefer to make as many 468 x 60 JPG files as you need.
(I am a Linux user - so for me that is Kolourpaint - but for others it can be done with M$Paint or more complicated apps like PS...)
2. Save them all in 1 folder, I named mine 1.JPG, 2.JPG, etc.
3.For Linux users, open a terminal window at that folder, and use a command like this:
The process is so fast as to be instant - POOF - the new file is made !!
4. Upload your new GIF file to imgur.com (account required...grrrr !!)
5. Make it available to be posted here as needed.
For other OSes I haven't a clue - but you can find more info here:
And grab that s/w here:
Enjoy and Prosper !!
