Are there any "good" tutorials for text effects with photoshop?

Im looking to add some text to my logo, and i had a google search and all i found was stuff like "Liquid text effect" "chrome effect" and fireeeeee

Are there tutorials for less of a tacky look and more professional looking text?

Also about the logo, it's for PC repair that i will be doing in my spare time, would a logo with some kind of PC repair link. Or would a random image made in photoshop be just as good?

Yeah sorry it wasn't about the logo in that link, just the text.

I was thinking about using say the text effect from the first link, and the random name im using is promadic i was thinking of say turning the o into a power switch or something like that, with the 3 quarters of a o with a line threw the top, and then half way above the text (or comming off the top of the M) a power cable comming up?

But before i can get started i need to find a text effect that has a tutorial *photoshop newb*

I take it the switch will be as simple as putting a "c" turning it on it's back, then an "l" and doing the same?

Because what ever style/effect i find and want to use, i want the power switch to match it

Cheers for the help guys.

One quick thing tho, how long does it take (On average) for a new website to appear on google?
