I made an animated GIF for our website.

I wanted to have scrolling photos for our homepage of our website because right now it's very bland.

I don't know how to do Flash, so I decided to go with the only thing I know: animated GIFs.

I used Image Ready, but look at the resolution!!  it's so grainy!

Does anyone have an idea why?!   ...or better yet, how to fix it?

It's a GIF?  How many colors are you using there?  GIF files usually only allow you to use 256 colors or something low like that.  So my guess is that's why it's grainy.

What about just embedding a video?

dude, try this free photo viewer, it rocks.

http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/

they have one that is 'autoviewer' that you can scale down so its just showing 1 pic at a time - sorta like your gif.

you just upload the files, and insert the script part in the webpage where you want.  then just edit 1 xml file and add your pics in.
