Lol.

As far as i know it is impossible to to have HTML text titled. Are you sure the background design wasn't tilted to give an illusion?

Got a link to the site?

That would make sense, Rob...I'm sure that the background was designed tilted off center and rotated.

I found the site and its gtwreck.com

From what I can tell, when someone posts to it, it takes a picture of the board and then rotates it and displays the picture.

Anyone have any ideas of how to do this, cause I know its possible

The picture on the front page, if that's what you're talking about, is not updated. The latest post is April 13, over 6 months ago. On April 13, the admin just did a screen capture, rotated it in a graphics editing program, and posted it on the front page.

Sorry, I didn't know you had the inside scoop. Wow, that is a pretty inactive site, then. Anyway, there's probably some different options using one of the popular image manipulating web software, but you would have to be a decent programmer to pull it off.

Do you have any programming experience at all?
