       [size=12pt]I've used PSP9 for this tutorial, however you should
       be able to create this tag in all versions.
       Supplies needed:
       A tube of choice.  I'm using one by Shawn McManus
  HTML http://www.shawnmcmanus.net
       which is available from CDO
  HTML http://www.cdoestore.com
       .
       Please do not use the same tube without the appropriate license.
       Font of choice.  I've used Thickhead.
       Plugins:
       Mura's Meister - Copies
       Filter Factory C - Speed
       Eye Candy 5: Glass
       1.  Open a new transparent image 600 x 250 pixels
       2.  Copy and paste your tube as a new layer and apply Mura's
       Meister Copies with the following settings:

       4.  Apply Effects - Distortion Effects - Pixellate with the
       following settings:

       5.  Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance.  Crop your tag back to 600
       x 250 pixels.

       tab and select 'Clear'.

       7.  Paste your tube as a new layer and add a drop shadow of
       choice.
       8.  Highlight your Glass layer.  Selections - Select All.
       Selections - Float.  Selections - Defloat.
       Highlight your tube layer.  Selections - Invert.  Press delete
       on your keyboard.
       Selections - Select None.
       9.   Add your name, copyright and license number (if necessary).
       Export your tag as a PNG.
       To create your avatar:
       10.  Shift - D to duplicate your tag.
       Crop it to 150 x 150 pixels.
       11.  Delete any unnecessary layers, making sure you left the
       background layer in place.
       12.  Apply Eye Candy 5: Impact - Glass with the same settings as
       previously.
       13.  Add your name or initial, plus any copyright and license
       numbers, as required.
       Export this as a PNG as well.
       And you're done :)
