I have a HUGE problem

first, i want to make something like this but like in different font and bg color. But how?!

1. ok so i opened ms paint and made the thingy the height and width that i wanted but im not sure how to put like a text box in so i can type things. do you click the big A and then drag it to how big you want the text to be? thats how i did it, but not sure if thats right.

2. after i made the text box thingy, i went to view and then clicked text toolbar. then i went a chose my font, which was scriptina, but how big should i make the font?! im not sure about that either

3. the biggest problem!! after i chose everything on how i thought it was supposed be, i exited out of the text toolbar thingy and then i try to type in a text in the box, but nothing appears!! i know im doing something wrong but wat?!

2. The text doesn't have to be a certain size. Try like 20-30 size. Depending on how big your image is. So don't worry about the size just stay away from huge numbers like 72.

to make it like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v665/ilu...pictures0gg.jpg
just use the square or box tool where you can make the box fill it with a color. Or just use any tool you can make a color squared box fill it in. Then type the text on top.
