Thats what i got when i saved it to my desctop

As a non techy not understanding transparencies etc, I pasted on what i got,

I know from past i had a similar issue when a png had a black background that vanished when uploaded

"so I know with the right settings, it will work."

Ok so what settings, whole point of VSD is i dont need to know anything about settings

I went nowhere near grey when creating that image, and I just downloaded it myself, and opened it up in paint, and it's showing the transparent speckled background. I don't know what you're doing. Sorry!

Having another go, your last comment helped me possibly understand

"transparent speckled background." always wondered about this
uploaded again try it now
Not sure but i think it proves you right Bren

Have been reading all these posts, trying to educate myself. It's like one of them Mystery and imagination thriller books you can buy..... love it.
I lost the plot a while ago to be honest but think I am learning things. Next post please.

Blind ( ME ) leading the blind, hopefully though by the looks of things Bren isnt blind, Its why i spend time in forums learning from others while occasionally passing on what i have learnt

Glad it worked Viv. And to add Viv, sometimes transparent images do show up with a black background in VSD.

Back to Greg, yes I do believe the best idea is to do images for your headers, and to add alt tags for keywords if you want. Honestly though, you'll probably be repeating most of the text that in the headers in your page, so I would not be too concerned about it.

It's when people use text image for complete paragraphs that lose them their keywords.

gif, again I say, is more for animated images, and not sure why you're wanting them. Don't think WIS handles gifs, so if you want to lean that way, you'll have to use whatever program you used to make your Home page image - which yes, looks the best out of all your pages.

Bren, thats been a bit of fun, hope it was usefull for Greg, didnt intend to hijack his thread

Something new to learn every day, one day i will work out how you did it.

In meantime it proves a point VSD tool does work for us novices but theres a better way

No, that's okay Viv. Just a little concerned as Greg seemed a little overwhelmed before, so didn't want to have side-tracked posts going on.

If you want me to give you a detailed list of what I did, just say so in another thread (probably WIS ), and you'll be adding text images everywhere in no time. I've looked at your sites, and they're great.
