I am working with basic drag and drop site builder and I have titles in text and paragraphs ion text but i want to spice up my titles more with a photoshop graphic style text. My question is will this hurt any of the seach ranking? Does the "title" text carry more weight than the "paragraph" text?
if you're referring to header (H1, H2, ...) tags, then yes, if you use images instead of text, it wont be as effective. you can always give your paragraphs a background-image, depending on how much freedom you have with your site builder. also, using the @font-face css item can give you the ability to use other fonts too.
