The problem is that the HTML image, generated automatically by default post editor of Blogger, displays a thumbnail and not the original file hosted. Therefore, that animation does not work. There are several ways to get what you want by using third-party, which can store your image. We will review on how to use popular service Photobucket for these purposes. So, you loaded the animated GIF to the Photobucket. What next? As you probably know, when you post images, provider offers you several links to use for different types of images sharing.
