    Thanks for the contribution. I've fixed this submission, but if you do post again, please use proper grammar and capitalization in your text. Also avoid creating multiple submissions for similar things (I've combined the Linux and Windows brush installation tutorials).

    Merge the text layers (there should be 5) and then use the rotation tool on the new single layer.

    Sorry about the link issues, I fixed the code. It won't make the urls lower case anymore.

    Your tutorials are great, but I think it'd be better if you picked thumbnails that showed the final result of the tutorial, rather than your site's logo. Thanks for contributing!

    Select the layer (click on it) from your layers list.

    Then, set your Foreground color (top color box) to White. Choose the Bucket Fill Tool (the bucket) then click on your canvas.

    Does that help?
