making a gif

i am up to making my animation as a gif and to do that i have to use gimp. click file, save as, then name it and give it a place to save, click selet type selet gif image, click save. Dont merge layers save as a animation then click export. Make sure you select foreverlooping so that it will still play after it has finished. and then select a time that is sutible for your animation i choose 208 because it is not to fast or slow.
