Hi Riva, I assume you aren't on dialup? The animation file is 788KB and took quite some time for me to download.
As regards the grainy effect on your images the problem is that the gif format is not ideal for these kind of continuous tone images. I'm guessing that whatever you are using to create your animation is rationalizing the various images in the animation as best it can to get a halfway decent download time and the grainy effect is the result. I think you should probably look at an alternative way of doing your slideshow. If you use an animated gif you aren't going to get away from the graininess without having an unfeasibly large gif file, not that 788KB isn't already unfeasibly large. I would suggest taking the size of your original size jpegs down as far as you can and then using a javascript slideshow script or something of that nature to achieve the effect you are looking for. Maybe Flash. Whilst acknowledging that these are non-standard solutions I would say they are still superior solutions to using an animated gif.

The problem is that it comes out grainy when it is on the web page - is there anything I can do to "optimize" the pictures (they are .jpg files) so that the animation will look clearer? (I created it with GIMP) It can be seen at http://www.starqualitydesigns.com/blums/index.htm TIA, Riva ____ .
