Take out the background of your image, and when you save the gif make sure you have transparency enabled. Choose a matte colour somewhere between the two colours of the site.

All browsers I know of support GIF (1-bit) transparency. The problem comes with PNG-24 transparency (8-bit transparency) which is supported by most browsers, EXCEPT (guess who?) the 800 lb gorilla: MSIE for Windows.

only problem is that many of the people who view the pages you make wil be using IE, so it is a good idea to try to be IE compatible.
