Unsure what exactly you need.
EGA only creates .gif images, not AVIs. To create an animated GIF, you insert existing images which creates frames - you can't import an AVI or movie files.

Once the .gif is created, its displayed on your website in HTML like any other image, ie:
<img src="my_file.gif">

This .gif needs uploading to your webserver along with the .htm file.

This .gif may not display animated within a preview of FrontPage, but should be fine if you view the page in your browser.

Let me refine my question "what" do I upload that is generated from the software to frontpage and then to my host server? I see the generated html coding but I see no image to upload

I've only got Easy GIF Animator Lite, so if you've got the 'non lite' version, this may be slightly different.

If you click 'File' -> 'Save as' (when you've completed your image) this should generate a .gif image.

Upload this file to your website, either in the same directory as the .htm file, or in a set directory - depends on your site configuration. Some people keep the images with the html pages, while others have a designated 'images' directory.

Assuming you've stored the .gif in the same directory as the .htm file, just access the image as per the above code.
