I have funky writing in my catergories to make it look nicer
I also make them for people on my forum into thier sigs , and i glitter them
Thought id share it so anyone can too if you want to with the glitter ...

First you need three windows open
 one being http://studio.imagemagick.org/MagickStudio/scripts/MagickStudio.cgi
Also http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Banners/Banners.html
and  http://www.geocities.com/elsa2421/glitters_galore.html

On banner genorator write what it is you want to say in banner text
Select what front you want im using graffitti
what size you want , im going to use 60
banner size , ill use 10
Put the Text colour as Black (if your going to glitter it , if not select what color you want.)
Then the background color as transparent.
(If your not going to add glitter then your banner is ready to use so hit submit , right click and save it as ..)
My image looks like this


right click on the Banner and scroll down to propeties and copy the URL

Next open up image shack and in the URL bit paste the code you have from banner
hit view
You should see your banner infront of you
(i dont know how to take screen shots or i would)
Top right say composite .. click that


open up glitters galore
pick what glitter you want to use , right click on it and scroll down to properties and copy the URL
Go back to image shack and paste into the url

Go down to compose and scroll up to make it say in
Go down a bit more and tick where it say ...tile across and down the image canvas.

hit composite

Now you will see your banner as a still image with the still glitter


go to top and hit output
look down and where it say loop with a 1 under it make the 1 a 0

then hit output

You now have your glitter text

right click save as image and then upload onto tinypic or whatever you use

In catergories you need to put the HTML codes for it to work , in sigs etc its the IMg code.
Hope this helps anyone
Can also look Great on portel home pages etc

Sweeet.
