In my general internet browsing today I came across this great little online tool. If you go to www.mybannercreator.com you can make your own banner. You can only make it a certain size(about 1000 x 200 pixels(100 pixels=1 inch)) but it's still really neat. You can add text and make it marquee across the banner. It has a few bugs in it because it's still in beta testing but once you fiddle with it a little while you can get it to work.
