Guess what?! I found a free downloadable GIF editing program on the net! It doesn't allow you to crop gifs, but I removed some of the unnecessary frames of animation from Ryoko, then tried cropping it with Tripod's GIFWORKS again, and I got it to work!! I think the reason it was fouling up before is because the file size was too large! I'll put it up on my board once the server is up! (It's down right now..)
