A little overwhelmed

Did you export to a png with a white background layer underneath? Exporting will flatten the image. Either turn the visibility of the background layer off or delete it leaving just the banner.

Thanks for the quick response.

I'll keep going with that learning curve, thanks :-)

With regard to the title bar image, if I re-open it in GIMP it does show the checkerboard, but when uploaded to my blog it has the white background and takes up way more room than the bar alone would.  With the 'Export Image as PNG' options I had them set as per the image below.

   

So, are you saying I should untick the 'Save background color' option?

Thanks again,
Richie
