Customised Banners
Certain on-line services offer customised information as images. Wundeground deliver your local weather as a GIF file and DanaSoft provide informative signatures, as shown below. Since both are displayed regularly in my personal portal, I like using the functionality of CSS which clips images as illustrated in this example page. Feel free to copy.
Some relevant code from the example:
<div style="position:absolute; top:5; left:10;
clip:rect(12px auto 40px auto)">
<img
src="http://www.danasoft.com/sig/fookitnow.jpg"
style="border:1px #000 solid;" />
</div>
