Animated Opt-In Form

WEB DESIGN

Does anyone have the HTML code for the animated waving image that hovers over an opt-in form like the one found here:

Tiffany Dow's Online Marketing Blog

I've done various Google searches but have come up empty. There are several animated motions the hand moves through ... waves, thumbs-up, and points down. There is also a sketched smiling face with long oval eyes that completes the image (which you can see on her site).

Tiffany's web designer coded it into her site. I really like the way the waving hands get the reader's attention and I would like to add it to my blog.

I use Aweber as my autoresponder service. Do you perceive any problem using this image along with their opt-in forms? Is it a matter of just adding the code to the beginning of the Aweber code or should I add it in a separate text box in my sidebar?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Yes! That's it. Do you have the HTML code or know where I can get it?

  That's a dumb advice in this form and I'd be the first to report you to Tiffany for stealing her bandwidth!
  
  Try to rephrase your advice without including the stealing :rolleyes:

It's a 23kb gif, get down from your high horse.
Yes, normally i would tell ijohnson to download the image, upload it to his server and link to it. But as you can see, his level is so low that he can't code a simple image link.
And why don't you help him if you know better?

  abhempire,
  
  No need to get testy!!!
  
  I may be technically challenged but I'm not stupid!
  
  Taking it right off of Tiffany's site from the page source code is not what I wanted to do. I agree with Istvan and do not subscribe to "stealing" stuff right off someone else's site.
  
  But I do appreciate your attempt to help.
  
  Thanks

  It's not the size of the image that's the issue here... it's the principle. Hotlinking (without permission) is never cool, regardless of how much bandwidth you consume.

  And that would be equally bad advice. You should always assume that any image you come across is copyrighted. So unless you have explicit permission to use it, then what you're suggesting is illegal.
  
  The smart thing to do would be to contact Tiffany and ask for her permission to use the image. Failing that, there are a gazillion stock image / gif animation sites out there that will sell you the rights to use an image legally for a small price.

I didn't call you stupid. My mom also can't do this, that doesn't mean she's stupid.

Save image as [...]
Go to Wordpress Dashboard - Media - Add new - upload the saved image and then click Edit.
Once there you'll have the direct link to the image on the right, File URL.
Copy that links and replace in what i gave you above.

If you don't use Wordpress, pm me.

  What you suggested is what I've done and I appreciate your help.
