Adding a graphic with just text to a wordpress site - text is blurred

Hope you can help a novice. I'm creating a header graphic in Photoshopt. this just contains 4 lines of typeface.

But, the typeface is blurry...what is the ideal format to save so that it will show up properly on the webpage?

Many thanks.

Not sure about wordPress, but I have had good success with PNG files.

please take a look a apapco.com....the header is a PNG file.

Bob Bender

Looks good to me, do you have an example of the blurry one?

thought that was blurry...maybe staring at it too long. LOL

Bob Bender

hahahaha, know that feeling! A lot may be cuz of the resolution, it will be "blurry" at lower resolutions. But anything less than 1024px is antiquted.

Copied it out and says a JPG file....

Bob Bender

oops, forgot to upload lol

now that's freaky...when I upload to WP, it forces it to be cropped and edited and resaves it as a jpg....dang.

Bob Bender

crop BEFORE you post? Or WP just loves jpg.

it insists on cropping when I upload the png file.

used the image because the template doesn't offer the flexibility of modifying the header.

I'm using Phitoshop to create the image... saving as a PNG-24.

Try saving it as JPEG with quality 100 and then uploading it to your site.

Dan-
I got so far as using the Header for most of the text. However, the 2nd tag line is in the space occupied by the header image. any thoughts on how to modify the wordpress template to replace image with a line of text? Customer will mkst likely change the tag line and keep me modifying the jpeg.

Thanks for your input.
