Holy cow, look at all these members! :O That's what I get for being away from the comm for so long - my own comm at that! XD

Anyway, here's a tutorial for applying motion blur to text on an icon, as requested by psychodids in this post. I used 3.0, but I'm sure it's translatable to other versions. It's hella long and there are many images; dial-up users, proceed with caution. ^^

Stuff is hosted on Photobucket; if you start getting ugly red Xs, let me know and I'll move the pics over to my website. :D

Helpful Hints:
- When you save this, be sure to click "Save for Web," then save it as a .gif with 256 colors.
- Also be sure to click that little box that says "Animate." Otherwise it'll just be, you know, a regular picture.
- My text is like, a size or two too big. 04b_03b and other pixel fonts are much better for this sort of thing, and you can download tons of them from DaFont.com.

Hopefully this will be helpful to you guys. Let me know if you have any problems! ♥
