I wasn't sure of how much of your address was antispam fake material... :)
The PNG logo on my Monobook installation as well as
the one on the
wikipedia sites (jigsaw globe) has an alpha channel and works equally
nice in both Gecho-based browsers as well as M$ Internet Exploder. I
can't seem to create one for my site. the best I get is a PNG that is
transparent on mozilla but has a weird grey back on MSIE. can anyone
clue me in on where I went wrong and what is the correct procedure to
get a cross-browser compatible transparent PNG? I have both Gimp and
Adobe tools available.
MSIE on Windows accepts 8-bit palettized transparent PNGs only. I wrote
up a quick howto for creating these in GIMP:

Or you can just use a GIF. ;)
