Circle Message Cursor by Tim Tilton

Great cursor effect that circles a given message around the cursor. As shown the message trails behind the cursor when the cursor is moved around the webpage.

The font type, color and size can be changed to suit your page.

Copy the code below and paste this into the <head> of your html document.

That's it!
