I only have one done so far, but I'm wanting to do an assortment of text effect turorials.

Here's number 1.

That is a great way to do some cool looking text. Thanks. Looking forward to more text tuts from you.

try

write your text on layers box alpha to selcection

then select>grow 1or 2 pixels

then create a new transparent layer and put unders text not go to fill tool and choose a second colour

then fill and you should have a coloured back close to the text

alpha to selection again then

select>invert

now go script-fu> shadow>drop shadow set the top bars to 2 the blur to 5 using your back colour and de-select allow resizing

do this again with the colour of text as your colour
but the top 2 bars at 1 and blur 0

repeat the first shadow again and done nifty text
