If you use the Wand Tool in most good image editing programs, you can select the white colour and delete it, then save it as .gif

in photoshop, use the wand tool, select and area of whiteness, right click and click "similar" then it'll choose everything of a similar colour, press delete and save as gif (or PNG)

In GIMP it's really easy, just add the alpha, and selcet "Turn color to Alpha". :) Done!

But, u'll need the GIMP for it. ;)

for complete n00bs the gimp is really hard to get used to, its more like how a MAC works being lots of windows/boxes instead of one program in one box like Microsoft Windows apps are

however it is really easy to remove colours to form transparancy, standard /gif "transparancy colours" seem to be bright pink or bright green as normally these dont appear elsewhere in teh image/text
