Does anyone know how, or where a tutorial could be found showing how to create a nice drop shadow? I’ve read the tutorial on this site but I’d like to have it be a gradient. I’ve been messing around with it for a while now but my upper right edge and lower right and left corners still look weird (not smooth).

An example of exactly what I’m looking for can be found at [http://www.marklearst.com](http://www.marklearst.com). Thanks for any input.
