    Capture frames you want (by pressing F then P repeatedly) -> Look in your TPT directory -> See the 'frame0001' etc? Put them together with a program (I'm not sure what to use) -> Get the .gif that's made -> Upload the file here -> Then I think you do [[File:imagenamehere.gif]]

    The [[File:imagenamehere.gif]] is not a link... -_-
    It displays it directly.

    I used Adobe Fireworks to make all those animations. I used Powder Toy to make the screenshots (by pressing P and then F to skip frames), and I used xnView to batch transform all of the screenshots, in order to remove the black space in the screenshots and resize the screenshots to make it easier to see.

    Gifsicle (hard to use) and Gimp are free and can make a GIF from frames.
