Hmm, not quite getting it. At first I tried selecting the object and applying inset and nothing happened. I tried object to path, but still nothing.

Then I tried activating edit paths by nodes, and inset worked, but it came out all lumpy and uneven.

Whoa, serious help there. Thank you. I'll give it a try.

Yes, I guess that was it. Thank you!

I finished something I was working on then I tried to save it as a png. It repeatedly shows up as 1 pixel. I tried changing the size in the png saving area, but it just changed it to a large transparent background instead of an empty black frame.

Why is this happening?

Whoa, that's a bit over my head. Yes, the lines are fills.

How would I go about using insets?

I am trying progressively more ambitious things and hoping to learn to use the program better. I've never really done design much before but I don't have money to pay designer...
