Images with Text On Them

    I can't think of the "technical term", but what is it called when you see an image on a website that has text and something else on it that is from another website. Lets say for instance, a website says XYZ.com has 5 stars, and the website XYZ.com has an image on the site that says "We have 5 stars on rating site ABC.com"... What is this called? I can't figure it out. Thanks!

    Just guessing... a "rating" or "badge" maybe. Do you have a specific example to look at?

    That is a feed counter - a.k.a. Chicklet

    From FeedBurner look for Publize > Feed Counter to see what is available for your Feedburner feed.

    I am not looking for anything related to feedburner.... If you read the first post, I say I need help pulling data from Website A and Displaying it on an image on Website B.... The feedburner image was just to show you what I meant, as it displays the current number of "readers", which is similar to what I want to do. It pulls a remote bit of information and displays it on an image.

    It's extremely easy to do with php, you can create dynamically generated images in a dozen lines of code. Have a look at the GD functions. You can pull in external data with e.g curl or simplexml.
