I'm an image mapping whore but can someone help me out with pcowards image mapping like for words for xanga like CLAF and PRIVATE and what not which one should I use the Rectangular, Circular, or Polygonal hotspot thingy?

have you checked out the tutorial for image mapping / hotspots in the tutorials section? it helps i think it's better to use retangular hotspots. it's better to learn how to do image mapping a different way other than that website...
