Animated globes are the big craze on the web now.
Incidentally, not all globes have to be animated. If you want to display a globe with no motion, you can have music playing on your website behind it, then it functions well as a decorative music box all by itself. If you have a good selection of clipart, also be alert for pedestal bases and interesting looking containers you can use. First, start a new image, size about 315x400, background transparent. Second, look through the clipart that you own and select the subject you want to use for the globe.
