How to use a clear graphic to write your name on, then you follow the other tute I have to make it sparkly.

Choose a FANCY FONT "before" starting all of this.

KRAZY FONTS

You can CCP the address for the font and put it in your FIND key and let it sit there until you need it. Then you just CCP the address again to use.

If you click on the FONT and it says you can't view it, then WEBTV people go to OPTIONS key---GOTO---SHOW LAST --- there is the address for the font in the space.

Here is the

CLEAR GRAPHIC

1---Take the address to IMAGE MAGICK.

2---put it in the URL space, click on VIEW

3---click on ANNOTATE

4---in TEXT space type your name

5---GRAVITY---CENTER

6---FILL COLOR, put in a color you want... blue, red, green etc.

7---POINTSIZE depends on the FONT (writing style) you use. Try putting in the number 40 or 50 and see if it is to large or to small.

You can use any font style in the font box on the page or choose one from the above website.

Go to the space directly under the font box. You will see "http://" in it. If you use a font in the box, you will leave the "http://", if you use a font that you have ccp from the website, you will delete the "http://" and paste in your font.

8--- press your BACK key to go back and change the size etc. until you are happy with how your name looks... then press ANNOTATE again.

9---now click on OUTPUT at the top

10---SCROLL DOWN and click on OUTPUT in the middle of the page

11---click on your name and save it. Now you can use that name to make your sparkly name. Follow my TUTE page regarding that.

When you get good at this, you don't have to do step 9-11 right "after" you annotate the name, just go directly to COMPOSITE and make your name sparkly while you are right there.

If you find the 200x100 isn't large enough for your name. Just "before" you go to ANNOTATE---go to RESIZE at TOP...

1--scroll down to RESIZE---delete the numbers---put in the numbers you want, like 300x100! You Must ALWAYS use and ! exclamation point...You are making it 100 pixels wider.

2---now click on RESIZE --- now you can go to ANNOTATE and proceed with above steps.
