sweet as candy, simple yet classy. while everyone is diggin in outlandish display of graphics, you created a simple and elegant (almost) purely text-based template.
i’ll try it on one of my blogs.

@Anto – Hmm can you send me a link to the site you’re testing it on?
on March 17, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Ben said:
@Anto & Michael Castilla – The same happens when I use CS3 too.
on March 19, 2008 at 4:20 am
Michael Castilla said:
@Ben – I ended up explaining to Anto how to save the image correctly. Try the following steps and see if it works:
1. Edit the text
2. Crop the image to fit the text
3. Hide the Background layer
3. Go to File > Save For Web with the following settings: http://wpcandy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/settings.png

Anto said:
Yea works to a charm.
If its outta place, just play about with the padding in the css or just move your text up near the top and right to the left
on the psd.
Good luck get back to us, let us know if it worked for you.

Michael.
1 Thing mate. I dont know if anyone else has commented with this, well none that i have seen. But in FF, i dunno about IE, but FF, when you scroll to the botom of the page, and try to click the edit link for the post, it doesnt let ya.
I dont know if its just me, does it happen for you?
on March 19, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Michael Castilla said:
@Anto – Which post are you referring to?
on March 19, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Anto said:
Like the last post on the page, of this theme.
If your loged in as admin, and try to click the edit button it doesnt work. lol.
on March 19, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Ben said:
@Michael Castilla – I’m still having problems editing the PSD, these are the setting I used, you can see the results on my site.

@Ben – Alright let’s see. It looks like your Matte color is off. The following settings should work.

Ben said:
@Michael Castilla – Almost there, I can see that there is no white border now, but, it is still not aligned properly, I opened the PSD file and edited the text, I have not done any re-sizing.

@Michael
I tried all of the methods listed in the comments and in the original post itself and I’m still coming up with garbage as a result. Nothing approaching the quality of the default logo. I e-mailed you with a PSD earlier to see if you advise me on what was going wrong, but received no response (leading me to think it may have been spam).
With the disappeared background, dither to 242424, GIF and all that jazz I end up with what was once beautiful text based entirely on the original logo, but with my site’s name, surrounded by like a halo of fuzzy whiteness. It’s quite strange.
Could you e-mail me and give me a hand? I can’t figure out what’s wrong and love the theme too much to give up on it. This is really the last thing I need to change before it’s perfect!
