I made mine using Photo shop image ready.
First of all open photo shop, not image ready.
Make all the frames you want to have in your avatar but in diffrent layers. The first layer should be the background of the avatar(if it's not apart of the other layers(frames))
If you don't have enough frames you can add a few 'transation layers'.(like I did in mine)
Copy the two frames you want to add a frame between them. The copy of the first should be placed right after the first one and the copy of the second frame should be before the second frame. Change the opacity of the second copy to something like 50%.(maybe lower, maybe bigger) Hide all other layers execpt the two you created right now. Merge all visible layers.(layer->merge visible)
When you have all the frames you want in diffrent layers, open image ready through photo shop.
Make the background visible all the time(unless it changes) and in each frame make a diffrent layer visible.
Once you are done enter file->save optimized.(gif) If you want to test before saving it you can test it through the image ready in the web.
