can i use microsoft/paint to make a mall banner ?

ok i wanted to make a mall banner just for the fun of it and i started on microsoft but copied and pasted it onto paint because thats how i can get images of items to put on the banner but when i paste the item it has a white box around it... do i have to zoom in and manually get rid of this box or is there another easier way ? ------------------------------------- *star*MODERATOR NOTICE | ** MOVED ** from Graphics Requests to Graphics Advice -------------------------------------

&nb link?

http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=nioe_yemar&nb I have this code on my lookup, it's linked to my goal counter for my shop size. I clicked it last night, and so did a couple other people according to their posts on my board, but they're not showing up on the counter like it would with any other hit. What am I doing wrong?

Hits Vs. Sales

So, I have a friend that is debating me because I said that we have about 10 shops getting less than 20 hits a day (in the Nursery Malls)...and those are just the ones registered with Neomallers..No idea about the others. She is saying 'hits have nothing to do with profits'. Well, I can semi understand that, but then...When everyone else is getting around a 100 and there are some with 7, is there not a problem? Maybe prices too high? Crappy items stocked?
