Posted 94 days ago 66Thanks for this useful posting. I really enjoyed reading it very much. There are so many different types of text effects which can be done for web sites. All the types of text effects look good on the web page. After reading this posting, I am excited about text effects. I think the text effects on Groupon and its clone sites are good. I think they could have been done with the help of scripts.
