I was thinking about the lettering thing, and rather than creating each 
group of three letters as a string, try creating one placeholder letter, 
and using Edit->Duplicate and the orbit and rotate options to get the 
lettering truly concentric.

I don't think that made much sense, did it?  <sigh> I know what I mean, 
and I could do it in about 5 minutes (time for fiddling and tweaking of 
settings.).  The only drawback could be that it may render slower for 
using 6 text objects rather than 2 (I could be wrong about that though)
 
(Oh, and Followup set to moray.win)

Well, since I do my mail offline, I haven't had a chance to look at the 
site you mentioned, but I like it, it's simple and clean.  And I like 
simple and clean :)

Bye for now,
