Talking photoshop neon text

hey everyone
i just figured out how to make cool text in photoshop that looks as if there is a neon light behind it, i couldn't find a tutorial place here so just decided to post it as a thread...

Firstly:
write your text:
Untitled-1.jpg
select the text layer, open the "layers" window (F7)
Untitled-2.jpg
select the little "f" on the bottom of the window, select Drop Shadow
Untitled-3.jpg
do the following options:
Blend Mode: Normal
Distance: 0
Adjust Size and Spread till you get the result you are aiming at
Choose the color you like

and wala !!
Untitled-4.jpg

this is my first tutorial yet, i hope someone finds it useful !

Not to rain on your parade but you could also just make the text black and use the outer glow style.
