effects on a text layer?

I assume that you can't put effects on a text layer until you prerender the effects layer, much like photoshop. Or I could put the effect on an adjustment layer above the text. I guess that's the way to do it.

Yes, you can effects on a text layer.

The third paragraph of this page gives information about a difference in rendering order on vector graphics layers like text layers.
