Here is something that I thought all of you might enjoy. It's another good place to make some beautiful names/banners with great fonts and colors.

Go to http://www.gifworks.com

and click on "file"and then on "New 3D Text". A box will pop up and you click on your color choice. Move on down to the other boxes and find the one that says "serif fonts" (that's the one I chose - but, you can pick any of the others) and click the little down arrow for the drop down menu. Now find "Bridge North" (or another font of your choice) and click on it.

Skip over step 3 - leaving those settings alone and move on to step 4. Where you see "animation effects", click the down arrow for the drop down menu and choose "stationary". Next, for the looping effect - put a dot by "run forever".

Leave all the other options alone and move on down to step 5. Backspace off the words in the text box and put in your text. If you want to preview your banner - just click the "preview" option or if you're ready, go ahead and click "accept" and wait for your banner to appear. When it does, right click and save it to your computer.

As you can see, there are various font styles and colors and other options (slide, rotate, etc.) to use. I thought this would be a good introduction to their other great options!

Here is my finished product!
