Username formatting

Hello all, I've got a question about my username. How do I get that glowing aura effect around it? I've tried looking online, but all the leads don't seem helpful. I'm not very experienced with coding, so as far as instructions, the more specific the better! Thanks for any help!

I have two very helpful thread links from T/O in my profile page, here.

Awesome, thanks! Now where do I copy that? If I click "Customize Username" do I just copy that code into each available text box corresponding to the characters in my name, and then replace the "shadow" "color of shadow" and "desired font" with what? My name, the color of the aura, and that standard font type? Like I said, I'm code handicapped...

Does that just go in the beginning box, along with the HTML code for the color of that letter?

:D okay...

This code is for my red letters. You can copy and paste it into each of those boxes and then change the colors and font by replacing them with what you want.

1st #px of the text-shadow code is the how you offset the shadow to the right or left. 2nd # px is up down. 3rd #px is the size of the glow.

It works! Hazzah! Thank you, I really appreciate the hand holding to help me understand this. Also thanks for reading me what the px means, now I can play around with it.
