Make your own flashing icons and buttons.

I found this online site that where novices like me can make our own flashing buttons or icons. It's free to use and most will get the hang of it after a few minutes. http://www.online-image-editor.com

Here is an example on how to make a button flash...firstly you need 2 buttons, one like this.. and a blank one
which i blacked out the letters using paint..Then you upload both to online image editor
and click create my animation and you get this. Then all you do is click download to your pc..You can also add some effects and change the sizes etc...

here is another example.... and (again i colored the red box black first) makes this I use this flashing red box on my forum for new posts etc...

Hope it helps. If i can do it, i'm sure most of you could.
