How can I find out at what size they should be? Is there just one universal size for all posts, or does it vary with the theme?

Thank you for your help!

If so, they have to be uploaded and inserted at a size that does not require that the wordpress software resizes them. If resizing happens then the animation is lost.

You will either have to resize them prior to uploading (if they are larger than what you theme allows, or if they aren't, make sure and insert them "full-sized".

Is it just me who can't see them? If not, does anybody know how to fix that?

Any help would be much appreciated.
