GIMPshop
Alright. I know you're wicked good with computers, so I felt like you should be the one I ask about this.
I used to be totally into web designing and everything, and now that it's summer again and there's not much to do, i'm going to go back to it. I used to have PSP and Photoshop and all that, but those were old computers so I got GIMPshop [for my laptop] instead. I don't even know if it's the "right" kind of program because I heard it might be a copy of the regular program.
My question is: for fonts, is there any way to like, make them look better? I mean, all I can do with the font is make it black or another color, but I can't do anything cool with it. I can't add gradients or anything to it and that makes it so that I don't even want a font on anything. Do you have any tips or anything about it? If you have msn, that'd be great. Just.. if you do, please post your msn email on here.
Thank you soo much if you can help me with this. I know you love designing websites and all, so yeah. :]

I'm not a GIMP or Photoshop expert, I focus mainly on the code, not the images.
GIMPshop is a version of the GIMP, which is an open source image manipulation program. The positions of options in GIMPshop are changed to more closely resemble Photoshop; this is pretty much the only change. I recommend it for people who are familiar with Photoshop already. I haven't used Photoshop much, so I use the regular GIMP. The GIMP can do everything Photoshop can, but it's often much more difficult. If you're not an open source fanatic like me, and you have a Photoshop liscense laying around, use it instead.
To add a gradient to text in the GIMP:
-Make text
-Use the "select regions by color" tool to select the text
-Select the "fill with a color gradient" tool
-Drag a line in the direction you want the gradient to go
Done. Check the gradient tool's options to change things around. IM info is on my column, but I probably won't have any helpful hints for you(I don't use the GIMP very often). Good luck!
