Way too much chrome, little signaling as to "is this interesting?", or "is this bullsh1t?"

Not enough content for search to be useful. The other day I was thinking "Text overlaid on a video uses glow, shadow, and similar effects to overcome a variable and imperfectly controlled background. How do I do that in photoshop?"

It turns out to be easy to do (just a setting on the text layer), and I just want to do it and get back to work. I don't want to see seven different ways to do it. I don't want to see somebody demonstrate the wrong way to do and ask for help fixing it (eg. Stackoverflow)

Thanks for your feedback, Paul. Any ideas on what can be done to signal that "it is interesting"?
