filesize

this is my second animated sig...i think it has improved somewhat...i blended it in a bit, however...still cant find a way make it fade black and fade out of black without a TOO large filesize....this one is 700+kb (havent really checked), so too bad i cant use it on these forums >.<...

it wont let me make this picture my avatar because its too big!! its smaller then most of your avatars and its telling me mines too big how do i make it smaller?
