Ok gang I seemed to have missed the instruction on how I import the html code and the avi to make an animation work ... I'm using frontpage as my html editor, can anyone help

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.
