Creating Web 2.0 Graphics In Gimp

There are many tutorials about creating buttons and graphics in the new 'Web 2.0' style. Unfortunately, all these tutorials are for Photoshop users. The Gimp users are completely ignored. To solve this problem I have written a series on creating Web Graphics in Gimp.
