Good stuff. I'm not all that hot a web designer but I have helped get a couple of things up and running in my time, so bearing that in mind here's some thoughts you should consider before playing around with gifs.

• Are you hand-coding these sites or using some kind of editor? A little flick through your code says you're using some kind of Yahoo Pagebuilder or something. Starting out, you want to be hand-coding the html.
• In this day and age, tables are a no-no. You should be using CSS for layout. CSS is basically (or at least should be) a separate file that handles the way your page looks from the layout to colours, images and font style. Google it and you will get plenty of tutorials. Tables should only be used for actually displaying tables in your pages. This will take a lot of work out of writing html yourself, and make it easy to apply the same look to your entire site.

To give you an example of what CSS can do, this is my blog (currently a work in progress) with and without it switched on.

• Are you actually creating each page on your sites? That looks like a hell of a lot of work. You could skip all that with something called server side includes, which basically creates your page on the fly from smaller parts, depending on what the user wants to see. There are a number of ways to achieve this, PHP was what I used most of the time to put sites together. You don't need to learn all of PHP to work it, just look up 'PHP includes' and you'll get what you need.
• Give in to wordpress. You know it makes sense.

Hope this helps.

For your animated gifs, there are a number of programs you can use to make them yourself, google will help.
