You can do most of that in the layers menu. Just double click the layer in the layers menu and you will see a whole list of effects, drop shawdow, inner and outer glow. Things like that. If you would like different fonts just google it, then Down load the fonts you want. Make sure to put them in your windows font file and photoshop will load them up automatically.

Thanks everyone for the links and suggestions.
I downloaded a few fonts and now I will try the layer effects as Travis suggested.

Thanks. I save everything, as you can see. :-D Please let me know if you find any dead links. There shouldn't be any, though, because I just went through them all 2 months ago. I try to test them every year. :-)

Hey jen-

how do you save your bookmarks?

In Internet Explorer go to FILE and then IMPORT AND EXPORT, hit NEXT, choose EXPORT FAVORITES, hit NEXT again, choose the favorites folder you want to export, hit NEXT, and then choose a place to save the file.

Then, what I do is bring that saved html page into Go Live (like Frontpage, Dreamweaver, etc) and tidy it up a bit by indenting and stuff. This last time I made the links at the top so I could just jump down to what I need.

I like having my faves online because I can access them from anywhere, share them with people, and I will never lose them.

Good luck.

- Jen

Another question if you have encountered this error

I created an action for adding a text layer with the copyright symbol and other stuff and now when I run this, it prints all the letters on top of each other. This can happen on random occasions while it works on other occasions. Have you experienced anything like this?

thanks typologic, this seems to be the problem. I had the action at 240 pixels/inch and I tried this at several images and it works on all images @ 240 pixels/in and gives me jumbled letters at 125/72/600 pixels/inch.
