How to make text follow a circular motion moving the mouse or known as "Circling text trail". The text is moving in a circle around the mouse pointer when the mouse is idle. Text to be displayed can be set as desired.
All you need do is to insert the script below into the gadget html / javascript.
<style type="text/css">
/* Circle Text Styles */
/*http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex13/circletext.htm */
#outerCircleText {
/* Optional - DO NOT SET FONT-SIZE HERE, SET IT IN THE SCRIPT */
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: 'comic sans ms', verdana, arial;
color: #000;
/* End Optional */
/* Start Required - Do Not Edit */
position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;z-index: 3000;cursor: default;}
#outerCircleText div {position: relative;}
#outerCircleText div div {position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;text-align: center;}
/* End Required */
/* End Circle Text Styles */
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">

Description:
Replace the text “Welcome to my blog!” with the text to your desired. You can edit the font style, circle speed, etc.
Copy the script above into the html / javascript gadget.
Source of the script above I took from the site that discusses the dynamic drive circling text trail
