Nope, it won't take a long time to load. The reason for that is it's not generated on-the-fly when a page requests it. It's written as a static image by the script that collects data from Google and Digg once per minute, so you don't have to worry about load times at all.

Well, to start with, you should know PHP and have a php-enabled webspace. Do you?

Yeah yeah, I probably will add that as an option in WorldTrends, except perhaps make it reload every 5 minutes or so. I would probably get fora feeds from the major forums as an indication of activity.

[off-topic] BTW, how do you get the gradient text? Do you have to use a loop or something (that's what I had to do) or is there an easier way?

@Demon:
1. It starts with this image:
2. It then drops the icons and text on top.
3. Next, it drops this image on top:
4. Finally, it writes the resultant to trendsig.png.

http://www.cemetech.net/projects/trendgraph/ time / color / type / source / mode.png
time = number of minutes per bar, eg 1,5,60,1440,525600
color = normal, gray, or cool
type = vbar or vline
source = google or digg
mode = overview or search_terms
Example:

Anyway, I might as well explain here so other people can reap the benefits of the knowledge.
1. Start with a base image or a blank image. You can use imagecreatefrompng(), imagecreatefromgif(), or imagecreatefromjpg() for a base image, or imagecreate() for a blank image. For example:
