Have you searched GooFans for that topic?

Anyway I started with decrypting fx.xml.bin in WorldofGoo/prooperties/.
Than copy an original Particleeffect, which is similar to the one you want to make, into a fx.xml.xsl from another goomod with custom particles. (don't forget to replace the effects from the goomod)
Than change name and the values you want to change.
If you want to use your own images for the particleeffect you also need to create a resources.xml.xsl(or modify a given one) in which the image id and path is defined.
Both (fx.xml.xsl and resources.xml.xsl) have to be in the merge/properties folder of your goomod and the images in override.

Here is a sample for a goomod which only adds one particleeffect to your World of goo:
