http://cherylmurphywrites.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/handsignaturevector.pngNeither one of them are coming transparent. I’ve checked in both chrome and safari. They are in a white box on my blogs.

I don’t think I understand what you mean. As far as I know, there isn’t an option when you upload. I created them transparent, trying both illustrator and photoshop since I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working. They are transparent images.

I just created another transparent png file in now a third different way and still no transparent file on my blog.

The images are indeed transparent, but the theme you’re using is adding white background too all the images in a post.
This should be able to overwrite using the some CSS and the Custom Design upgrade:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/You can also overwrite this on a per image basis, by adding inline css to the image tag in the html editor.
Something like this should work:
<img src="http://cherylmurphywrites.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/photoshopsignature.png" style="background:transparent;" />
Hope this helps. -
I tried adding the html. It didn’t work. :( I don’t plan to upgrade because I don’t make any money off of the blog.
Thank you for trying, though. I guess I just have to live with it.

Okay, if you’d like, we can take a look at the post you added the inline CSS to. Would you mind sending a link?

But some more info:
When I just added the line as given above, it simply put another, full sized image in, also not transparent.So I tried to chop it down to just style=”background:transparent;” and add it into the already placed html size (which is the current set-up) and that didn’t make it transparent. If you want, I can just take out the other html and just use the one line (which just put the full sized image in with no transparency).
I don’t know what would be more beneficial to you. I’m not familiar enough with html to know exactly what I’m doing but I’m always willing to play with it until I get what I want. Unfortunately that isn’t always very effective. :)

That does appear to have worked in this case, but the old images may be caught in your cache.
Would you please try clearing your browser’s cache?

Yep, it’s definitely transparent at http://cherylmurphywrites.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/the-confusion-of-setting/
The border is applied by the theme and not affected by transparency.

Okay, then I guess I’ll live with it.
Thank you all so much for your help! At least now I can make sure it’s transparent.
