Transparent PNG Image

That makes the WHOLE image transparent.
If you just wanted to emulate a transparent GIF you would right click on
the image then select "select" -> "By color"
Then select the color you want to be transparent and press 'ctrl+k' or
right click again and select "edit" -> "clear"
Make sure you have you background set to transparent before you do
this. The just save the image as a PNG and whatever was showing though
to the checkerboard background will be transparent on the web.
