Speaking of... I see you have a shiny, glossy new av, Steel.
You know... I don't have one either. I keep meaning to take some time and GIMP up a rough version of what I think is my family arms (at least, the one I most commonly see associated with my name; I've seen a second but it seems to be much less common)... but never really had time.
I think, therefore I am a nerd.
Cogito, ergo sum nerdem.

Sure. I will try to make a little "mini" tutorial tomorrow. But to quickly explain, I just draw 1/2 the word, flip it, modify teh flipped shapes to look like the second 1/2 and then keep doing it till they look good.
There are a couple generators out there but they only do Old English and a script version. I will see if I can digup my old WM file and go through the process.
