semifamous

Here's what it looks like when I try it with a new layer. (I had that idea too.) I entered text between the cursor and the logo. I'd like to see it.

I'm running the latest 3.01 I'm trying to make a CD label. I have a background .jpg. On top of that, I'm adding the company logo. Then I want to add text. If I add text before I import the logo, I can read it just fine, but the text needs to fit around the logo, so I want to have the logo there first. Once I have the logo imported, however, I cannot see any text. It all appears to be white(?) I see the cursor moving as I type, but I cannot see the text. What am I doing wrong? Why isn't this as easy as I expect it to be?
