I have a .Gif file / picture on my website. When it is uploaded is does not show, only a block and a cross inside.
Do i need to embed somehow?

Xara Desktop applications can Export objects as GIFs.
If you drag one onto your design, it is stored in the Bitmap gallery as a GIF.
When it is then rendered in your published website, it will have been converted to a JPEG or PNG.
If you must have it render as a GIF, you need to create a Placeholder with code:
You need to scale the Placeholder size to that of the GIF's dimensions.<img src="myMustHaveGif.gif" width=100% height=100% />
Create a new design document with the GIF added and upload it here.

I have created the placeholder (same size as the gif)
i have selected the placeholder > web properties > placeholder and pasted the code in the body and head section.
Once uploaded the gif (south african flag) displays but it does not move as supposed to: http://nationalglassmafikeng.co.za/
What do you mean by: "Create a new design document with the GIF added and upload it here." ?
Ah, Acorn it is an animated GIF. Not sure if this makes any difference.
I have not used animated Gifs in a long time but I just downloaded one from Gify.com to my desktop, and then dragged and dropped it into a web document and it works fine.
I am using v 16 but I think this capability has been around for many versions.
I've attached the file I downloaded.

So, to confirm, when I drag and drop an animated GIF onto my Xara design page, it creates a Placeholder with "replace with graphic file": name.gif.
This action rendered the animated on a web page.
It additionally creates a HTML Preview file to "colour" the Placeholder and this is saved into the Bitmap gallery as a JPEG/PNG.
The same happens with File > Import.
@JuanSA - can you now see what you need to do?

Thanks @Acorn and @gwpriester
I dragged and dropped and it works perfectly.
Previously i copied and pasted the file into the design page. That was creating the animated gif not to work.
