Well it depends on what you consider "glowing" text. You can djust the hue saturation to a neon type color or you can add a glow as a filter. I use PS6 I believe PS5 has everyting you need to do this.

<span style="FILTER: Glow(Color=#ffcc66, Strength=8); width:200px;font-size:20pt;">Glow Filter</span>

Thats how you do it in HTML. If you can put HTML in your sig, you can do that.

You *could* do that, but we don't allow HTML in sigs. :)

More recent versions of photoshop do glows for you, 5 was right around the end of the good old days when you had to do everything the hard way. In PS7, you apply blending effects like glow and color overlay with a control panel. Even cooler, all your image adjustments can be created as layers that effect everything below them in the stack.

In PS 5, you may have to make a selection out of what you want to glow, expand the selection and then feather it (both in the select menu if I remember right). Make a new layer behind the layer you are going to make glow, then fill the selection with a bright color. Then change the layer effect to screen or overlay and play with the opacity. You may want to add noise to the glow layer from the filters menu, or push the edges a little with the smudge tool.

Photoshop 7 is the best software application ever.
