I'm pretty excited to share with all of you that for at least the next couple of weeks I'll have roughly 20 hours a week to work on MyBannerMaker. This will allow me to make tons of improvements, from new features to bug fixes.
If you have any requests, feel free to post 'em in a comment or email them to me (contact page of the website).

yes, can u make a thing where you can put more than 1 picture in the banner? for example, you put the background as black and put 3 different pictures on top of the black and layer the words by making them very pale? kinda confusing, but like can u put more pictures on and layer them?
While I'd love to do that, I'm not sure it'll happen over the next couple of weeks. Let me explain a bit here.
In order to handle each image that you upload, the banner maker has to have a way of handling how it should be cropped, resized, and positioned on the banner. Also, we have to take into account alpha channels (transparency) on PNG and GIF images and how to have them overlay on each other and the background.
Currently, we handle the cropping and resizing all pretty easily. You choose how it should crop with the nifty little crop page, and we resize it to fit on the banner. We trash alpha channels since you can't overlay a background image on top of anything anyways. Positioning isn't an issue with an image as the background.
When we do finally add in support for multiple images, we will need a separate page that's easy for you to use that allows you to drag the images around the banner to choose where to position them.
I'll give this some more serious consideration for being implemented in the next couple of weeks. It's really a matter of what other work needs to be done. While this would certainly be awesome, it would mean a good 20-30 hours less time for work on other features, so we would have to sacrifice them. It's all a balancing act! Thanks for the suggestion!

You can layer text and make them pale by using the opacity slider, by the way!
