I made a collage of all my designs to put on my website to show the different things I have available. The problem Im having is when I save, all of my detail and bakground and text are distorting vary badly/ Some you cant even read anymore and some of the background goes axtremely dark insead of a "foggy" appearence like I want. Can someone help me on saving in a format that will keep the collage exactly the smae and yet still allow me to upload it to a site like photobucket or tiny pic?

I can't say for sure without seeing it, but it could be that you're not saving it in either a .jpg or a .gif image format...
If it's not that, you 'may' be trying to size it online too, and that can make type illegible, and make images look really bad.
If that is the case, size it in your imaging program, then place it online, that way it'll be viewed as it should be.
If you don't think this is it, you may want to post a link to it so we can see it, and mention too what imaging program you're using.
All images should be saved as either a .jpeg, .gif, or a .png.
(Uploading images that don't work in HTML can goober things up pretty good)
As the "other" Randy stated, it probably has to do with the format you are saving the image in. The next question would be, does the image distort when you open the saved file directly on your computer or when you view it online? If it is fine on your system and distorted online, then you may have saved in too high a resolution and the website automatically resized and resampled the image via their software.
Once you have your design the way you like it, save a version at 72 ppi (web safe) and make sure the final file size is within the websites acceptable sizing. I'd recommend .jpg or .png as the format as a .gif doesn't play too nice with the effects you've added.
Hope somewhere between us two Randy's you can figure it out!
are you using transparencies? if they don't get flattened properly sometimes they distort . but as the 2 randys said its probably the file format your saving as.
