Questions concerning specifics of the GD

[theflyingkitty]

I am just wanting to set it up in, say, a more desirable way. My PHP editing skills are OK, but always scared to add anything when I don't know what to add.

Pretty much, I am wanting to set up a simple background image for the cert.

Then, am wanting to change the text that shows up on it. Such as, where it will appear on the image, what color it is, and which things do appear. And font type.

Here's some things I'd like to show. Not sure which words to use to reference them?

-Stage 1/2/3/etc.
-Species
-Rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare, Unique. Haven't seen anywhere in the script itself where this option shows in the first place.)
-Pet Name

GD works on my server, etc. but just has a horrible black text that overlaps the adoptable image.

If all of this is described in detail with the premium membership/donation, let me know. Really wanting to get everything going! Thank you!
