Automatic photo templates

Not sure what reception this will get (but be nice, it is Christmas after
all!)

First, have a look at http://diy.despair.com/motivator.php This page
contains a 'poster generator' which I've been using with my own photos to
great effect, but being on dial-up, I'd prefer to create these on my own
computer - it'd be a lot quicker.

I'm guessing this would require a macro script of some kind to carry out the
required operations (picture, frame, text, formatting etc.) but I can't find
anything in Elements 2 or PhotoImpact 10 that would make this possible.
Since you have to upload your picture to that site to make it work,
obviously they have something at their end that does the deed.

Any ideas what to do - is there a downloadable programme maybe?

Why would you need a macro. Elements can do these things singly okay.
