The options are kept to a minimum to keep it\n simple and intuitive. Basic options here:<\/p>\n\n<p>Background image:   This text field requires the path to your HeadlineAnimator\n            Background picture relative to your WordPress installation.\n            If the picture is not accessible, the label is shown in red<\/p>\n\n<p>Font file:      This text field requires the <em>absolute<\/em> path to a font\n            file (ttf) on your server. It is used to write text on the\n            Background image. If the fomt file is not accessible,\n            the label is shown in red<\/p>\n\n<p>Target:         This is the path where your image should be written to;\n            relative to your WordPress Installation<\/p>\n\n<p>Text on Picture:    Text entered here is shown on the Animator.<\/p>\n\n<p>Text Color:         Enter a color here in Hex format (#ffffff is white). This\n            color will be used for the text on the picture.<\/p>\n\n<p>Show date on animator:  If you want your headlines to be prefixed with a date,\n            check this box.<\/p>\n\n<p>Date format:        This is direct access to the PHP date() function used\n            to display the date prefix of your headlines.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you got things right, \"HTML Code for your Animator\" is shown including your\nanimator.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Bugs<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>no error handler on if output file is not writeable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the contents of the wp-headlineanimator directory into your wordpress plugin directory.<\/li>\n<li>make sure that the file you want to write your animator to is writeable for php<\/li>\n<li>Activate the Plugin<\/li>\n<li>Configure the Plugin via the admin interface<\/li>\n<li>Enjoy and be so kind giving some feedback to me on my blog<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>The plugin shows the StarBlog background<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Just draw your own background image, upload and use the new filename in the config<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>The configuration labels of background picture and\/or font file are written in red<\/dt>\n<dd><p>If the labels are written in red, the plugin cannot access the files.
