There are all these wonderful how to tutorials for Photoshop all over the net but very few for GIMP it seems.

GIMP has a wonderful collection of built in logo tools. I have about 30 built into my version of GIMP. Each one is customizable further; color, size, font and other options exist.

To use the logo tool in GIMP select Xtns from the main menu. Then select Script-Fu -> Logos and select your logo.

You will want to try out the different logos and then play around and adjust the settings on the logos you like best. You should also make a note of the logo and settings you use. You may want to make several versions of your logo.

Also check The PlugIn registry for more options.

Suppose you have a list of links:
TimesToCome Mobile
Herselfs AI
Herself’s Houseplants

And you’d prefer to lay them out horizontally on your page like:

TimesToCome Mobile|Herselfs AI|Herself’s Houseplants

Or better yet, like the 3 social bookmark links at the bottom of this post are laid out.

This is especially useful for the list of social bookmarks at the bottom of your page.

You can in HTML just place the links one after the other with a ‘|’ in between. Or you can use CSS to line them up for you and space them out nicely. The float: left; is what makes your list horizontal instead of vertical.

#socialbookmarks ul
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

#socialbookmarks li {
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style-type: none;
white-space: nowrap;
}

#socialbookmarks li a
{
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0 18px;
font-size: 0.8em;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 1px;
}

The bookmarks are added in the form of an HTML list to the web page
<div id=”socialbookmarks”>
<ul>
<li> link 1 </li>
<li> link 2 </li>
<li> link 3 </li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />

You need a break ( br ) tag at the end to prevent the links from wrapping if the next item in your template is also a float item.
