Point 2. NO, the forum resize makes it a jpg again, losing transparency. Make your big one a multiple of the finished size, ex: 1300x300, then reduce 50%.

It looks good Brendan, but quit drinking and getting dizzy. The bling text effect is nice.
Nope pal don't let the forum resize the image it will turn it into a gif file and it will loose it's transparency, rather create your design from the start allot bigger eg. 1300x300 then when your finished (save it in photoshop at this size in a psd format this way you will keep all the layers intact if you need to edit it further) then make a copy and save it at the actual size (use png if you want transparency otherwise jpg) eg. if you work in 1300x300 this is proportionately 650x150 (image 1)
In Photoshop you can use the "transform" "perspective" option (image 2) to get the desired effect, you might have to create another copy layer and merge some of the layers down depending on what effects you used.
But you don't need to use perspective all the time it's mostly used when the object that the text etc is sitting on has perspective (image 3) ... hope this helps a bit
