What's wrong with an ad?
The ad has a "download now" button, making it misleading. A new user likely would see it before the real link above it. I also saw it before the real download link.

It appears there's another "Download Now" ad on the homepage again. Any way to remove it?

I'm using XP SP2 and have no intention of upgrading to SP3 because there is almost nothing in SP3 thats worth it. SP3 is mostly bloat-software that most users Do Not Need. On top of the afore mentioned, it has caused conciderable problems and crashes on many PC's in which I have tried to install it.
I installed it just fine. First loadup after installing took a little longer than normal (too big a change in too little a time), but now everything is fixed and up to speed. Nothing at all went wrong.

Love it! Thanks!

Yes, I'm a n00b. No, I'm not lazy. :wink:
Most of my work is (sic?) sigs/avatars, which are shiny but basic.
CURRENT AVATAR/SIG COMBO
Previous Sig
Sig before that...
Never publicly-released sig
Why did I decide against this? I am right that there are dolphin-lovers out there (I love dolphins, too), and I decided they might get ticked at this sig. So I designed a new sig immediately after.
My VERY first sig

It really reminds me of buttons on iPhones/iPod touches. Nice work!

This tut came out really cool. I printed the picture and cut it out, and my friend thought it was real.
:-O ... It's not that realistic, is it??????

Nah, manual work is better. ;-) :-P

This is my first tut, so I really hope you like it!
Today we will be making the classic yellow Post-It (™, ®, etc.) note. More colors may be added soon.
END RESULT:
To do this, you'll need one plugin. That is the anti-aliasing plugin.
Getting Started
We're going to make a 200 by 200 pixel image. Create a new image with that size.
Delete the white background with the magic wand tool. (You can do a background later...)The Outline
:LineCurveTool: To begin, draw two straight lines, one near the top, one near the right edge. Make sure these lines are colored with the hex code #FFF8D6. Try to make this as square as possible.
Check-up: You should have something like this so far (barely visible):
:LineCurveTool: Near the left edge, draw another line, but wait. Make sure that the line is slanted barely to the left. For you math geeks, it should be around 5 to 10° to the left. Then, make sure that the bottom of this line is further up than the right edge's bottom. Also, add in a very slight curve.
Check-up: You should have something kind of like this so far. I used a black background to let you see exactly where the line curves, etc.
:LineCurveTool: For the bottom edge, just connect the bottoms of the two lines, and give it a little downward curve. I don't think I should give a picture for the sake of my bandwidth, and you should have the imagination to draw it in your head. :-)
Fill'er up!
:PaintBucketTool: Fill the post-it with the same hex, first with a tolerance of 44%, then again with a tolerance of 66%. That removes any anti-aliasing, which we'll deal with later.
Check-up: You should have something like this. Still using a black background for visibility.
Don't use that tone with me!
Time to give this some more realistic tones.
Select the post-it with the magic wand.:LinearGradient: Make a linear gradient. One hex will be #FFF8D6, then the other #FFE770. Make sure that the darker color is on top!
:AntiAliasingOn: Now let's undo our anti-antialiasing. Go to the "Antialiasing" tool (Effects>Antialiasing). Going down, the numbers should be 9, 980, then 1.
Groundhog Day (shadow time!)
:DuplicateLayer: Duplicate the layer you were working with.
:Down: Move the layer down under the post-it layer.
Set the brightness to -100.:Delete: Delete the upper 3/4 of the shadow layer.
Move and rotate to where there is a very clear shadow under the lower-left corner.
:GaussianBlur: Gaussian Blur with a setting of at least 10. I used 13.
You'll be done write away!
Use a handwritten font (my fave is Hand of Sean) and type something....
You're done!Thanks for reading!
