OK, I put up a whole lot of fancy headings with the advanced text option. I was wanting to use the brush35 font so I used that for the pg titles on most every pg. Please give a look and let me know if it is rendering like it is on my monitor will link to a screen shot

What i see is a heading in times new roman, on home page, other pages seem to have worked

little clue, if you run your curser over text the curser image is different to advanced text, yours is all identical on the home page, and changes on the other pages

also i would remove email link, the way its is on the page now, will encourage automated spam

Greg, looking good, and I see you put your Company name as an image now. I'll check on my netbook tonight to see if I still get the overlap (as I was as recent as yesterday ) that I posted a screenshot of in your other thread a few weeks ago.

Just one thing, did you mean to have the black background, or has the transparency of the image not worked correctly?

I see also on other pages, that you've used your background as a background of your text.

In Web Image Studio, you can make text images, and save them as transparent images (PNG), and would look great on your pages.

I used the advanced text and used the effect tool of the VSD to put up the brush35 fonts on the heading listings.I did about 14 or 15 pgs first and tried the index pg last. On the index pg I have that animation as a background and could not get the image to use the background as the background to the jpeg image saved for the font I was up until $:00 AM trying to get it to rendering correctly After I came back and did the home pg I started having problems with other pgs The images for the fonts were so many and so closely named they started getting mixed up and were showing up on other pgs in the wrong places and when I would fix one another would pop up somewhere else. Gave up and went to sleep Am hitting it again this morning.
Does it have to be a PNG image can you use a GIF to make a transparent background image for the advanced font effect?

First off Greg, I'm on my netbook, and no overlap of your Home Page name now.

Only a slight overlap of 'Free estimates' over '25 years experience'.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I work on:

PNG for banners, Home Page (as long as the image isn't too large), and your Page title text images.

JPG for all other photos etc on other pages.

GIF I thought was more animated images?

And to add, the Text Title images look good on the first 3 pages (Residential interior, exterior & Commercial), along with the Home Page.

They start to look as though they are on your background image from pages Specialty.

Greg, it looks to me as you have made the headers in a too complicated way. I can see that because the text has a background of its own. Only the heading on the index page seems to have been made as intended. Looks as if you have made the text, then copied it with the background and pasted it into where you want it. That is not necessary.

You create the header text right on the page where it's going to be used. Write the text and click once next to it so that the bounding box becomes blue. Then you have the option Allow advanced text which you have to click. After that your text is an image with a transparent background that will sit nicely where you put it. You can do all sorts of effects, but too much will always be too much. But one thing that you should to, for the sake of the google bots: At the bottom of the text property box is a field for Alternate text (becomes active after you have clicked the 'advanced text' option). In that field write the text of each heading, so that google can find it. Google can't read images, so therefore we need to help a little

Inger in VSD all convererted text using advanced text option looks exactly as it does on GregB 's website.

Sorry if I have confused someone. I have only tried with coloured background, including gradient, and the background of the text is transparent in those cases.

I'm not a real VSD user anyway.

I tried to do the advanced text procedure on pg 15 to get the auto loading and creating of the text image with a transparent background. I followed your instructions and it made the new text image with a copy of the pg background image again so it is the same as the other was Seems that it does not function that way as in making up of the transparent background images. The reason the home pg has the image with a transparent background is because I made one up as a GIF and loaded it on the pg as an image instead of using the advanced text procedure. I tried using that advanced text proceedure on the index pg for the heading but no matter how I tried to do it I always got a black background on the text coming from the GIF animation image as the pg's background image.
I copied some of the code on pg 15 from the text labeling I put in as per your recent instructions and edited it in on the index pg next to the code line for the header image. That code now reads in on the pg source code alt="Workhorse Painting Company" title="Workhorse Painting Company" Is the code does not seem to effect the way the pg looks guess it is there for the bots. Will that work? Do not know if you can enter in the code with a image as you could with the advanced text function.
So now I get to go to the other 14 pgs and enter in all of the text labels for the web bots.

Leave key wording till a later date when all is done,

Once your happy with things just copy your heading including alternative text etc

And then delete and paste each page in turn, assuming normal practice where the header stays identical throughout the whole website

when pasting from one page to all others position will be perfect
