Thanks for the help, I'm gonna try it later.
As for text, I wanna write something in an undecided font that changes color along the letters. Ex: "HELLO" Top would be red, then blends to yellow in middle, thne back to red at bottom. Something like that, but I'm using blue and lighter blue, maybe green instead of red and yellow. Would making a gradiant in the shape of the letters be effective, tough as it is?
EDIT: So I ended up resizing the BG about ten minutes after posting the first question, Now the circles are too big for it. I'm using standard banner size (apparently, 728x90) although I'm thinking of making it slightly bigger so that i don't have to resize the circles. Any Ideas?
