Animated Text
In keeping with my focus on the forest, I chose an animated owl from http://www.fodey.com to present a message above. I found the Fodey function, http://www.fodey.com/generators/animated/talking_owl.asp, very easy to use – plug in the text and it generated the gif to download. And then I copied it to this page. I then found that only the second image was displaying, so I went back to Fodey and created the HTML instead of a gif and copied it to this page and that does work.
I found a second neat text capability at http://cooltext.com/. The burning capability, http://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Burning, seemed to fit with my forest them and it was again easy to plug in text and download the gif which I copied to this page.
