well, do you have a font ready, or are you doing the text by hand?

multiply blending mode

don't make it completely black, but slightly dark grey.

and, you know, don't be stupid. if you're going for the handwriting look, don't use a font. Use a tablet and write it.

or shit, better yet, write it out irl and take a photo of that - on perfectly white paper illuminated by a direct flash, and then use multiply on THAT.

ok cool, yeah the font i have doesnt look like it was written on paper at all like its all crazy and shit, but it sticks out so much, i tried blurring it and that kinda helped but wanted to know a better way.

well then, write the text up, put it in the right place - distort it, use perspective, or whatever you need so it lines up with the paper right (with ctrl+t, and a right click on the object for a transform-specific menu), and mess with blending modes (right under the 'layers' tab at the palette - usually says normal)

You could use a handwriting brush. I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for or how it works since I don't use photoshop.

also, if it sticks out too much as in looks too perfect and clean, try adding just a little bit of noise.. (filter > noise > add noise)

when adding photoshop-made elements on to pictures it can help to add some noise

by the way, if its still not working (and not too much trouble), could you post a screen shot or a jpg of what you have so far..

that way its easier to see exactly what's 'off' in making it look like actual text on the paper

What OP is not telling you is that he is posing as a girl. He found a pic of a hot chick holding a sign, but needs to convincingly substitute the text to say "sup /b/, 08/14/08".
