I've done some scouting around to find decent sites where you can get Animated Gifs and Java Applets to add to your own pages. They're fun and easy to use and I'm sure you'll find something that you can use. Any sites with a New tag were added July/97.

These are by no means the only places on the Web for Animated Gifs or Java Applets. I've just tried to find some sites that offer large collections that you can use on your own home pages. Who knows, maybe you'll like them so much that you may even try making your own......just like me.....eventually.

How about some added touches now...like a guestbook, a web counter and some places you can go that do great things for free to your own gifs or jpg's. If you insist and you really, really like them, get yourself some frames while you're at it. When you're done with all that and your pages are finished (well they never are) and uploaded to your server, find out where you can go to tell the world you've arrived!
