DW problems

I'm having a number of minor problems with DW, including the editor acting wonky and DW not liking icons I've made with newer software.  Currently I'm having to create the icon with one program save it, load it into a crude older program and resave.  Obviously it's cutting out something, but what I don't know. I don't think the size of the original files is the problem. Icons made with the crude program directly look very bad.

After a short exchange with Masq I'm thinking of posting some new fiction somewhere.  I tried blogspot last night, but I loathe the text editor there.  More later.
