Newbie here starting from the ground up. I am currently still in the learning process and am designing my site layout now (finally). I want everything to be legit and no "black hat" tricks. I am a bit concerned that something I have coded will be mistaken as black hat. My site logo and name are inside a div, however I put the images for the logo and site name as a background image via my external CSS. But since i wanna go by web standards and accessibility, I also put a transparent image in the same spot, that links to my homepage and with the proper Alt Text.
I guess the reason I did that is so that my pages arent very heavy with the logo images. The transparent images file sizes are very very small. Would that get me banned by Google? Or is it ok? Or should I just put the logo images as a regular HTML code?
