Good animated gif software?

My footer has been broken for a while.  I want to replace it with a nice animated gif of all my projects.  I've noticed a lot of you guys have some nice footers, so I'd appreciate any advice you can give me in terms of software and what have you.

If you want something free and easy, there's always Windows Movie Maker and an online video to GIF converter

While probably not the easiest method, I personally use photoshop.

There are tutorials online, but let me know if you need a full rundown on the process in photoshop. In a nutshell, you make an image, and each layer can be used as a different frame in that animation. There is a "timeline" window in photoshop where you set each frame, the duration, loop, etc. Then just "save for web" as an animated gif.

Along the same lines as doing it in Photoshop, you can also do this with Paintshop Pro.
If you don't have either and have to purchase, Paintshop pro is a lot cheaper.

I didn't know that, thanks.  I'm more familiar with photoshop than the other suggestions so I might try this first.
