Thanks for all your comments. Here's how you can add a drop shadow to your hackergotchi:
1. Click on the Keep Transparency checkbox in the layers tab -- on the layers tab, this is the checkbox next to the Mode dropdown list.
2. Click the duplicate layer button.
3. Select the paintbrush and paint your image black. Remove the Keep Transparency checkbox.
4. Click Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur and use a setting of about 12x12 a couple of times.
5. Add a new white layer -- click the New Layer button and choose White as the Fill Type.
6. Redorder your layers such that the priginal layer is at the top, the blackened image in the middle and the white layer at the bottom.
7. Next click on the middle layer (blackened image) and select the Move tool (Tools -> Transform Tools -> Move). Now using the arrow keys move your image downward or sideways.
