note, this tutorial is written for Photoshop. If you don’t have Photoshop, The Gimp is a great image manipulation program but you’ll have to figure out how to perform the steps yourself.
1. Create a new document. The size isn’t too terribly important; mine is 205×42 pixels. The background should be transparent, NOT WHITE.
2. Create a new layer. This is your text layer. Select a font you like, I used Arial. The size of the font may vary; I used 40pt.
3. Type in your text.
4. If you want to change the color of the text you may do so, it won’t affect anything.
5. Click file > save for web
6. The Matte color should be the exact same color of the background which this title image will be against. Mine is #333333.
7. Save as title.gif; upload to wp-content/themes/unsleepable/images, and you’re done!
