This is your intro image redone as a small gif and web text for fast loading and search engine compatibility. To keep the layout the pic and text is placed in a table. In the first table the second cell is given a light yellow background color.

Here is the layout - a 2 cell table (1 row 2 columns). This table has a border to show the 2 table cells. The table is 513 pixels wide (same as your intro jpg).

In the first cell is just the cowboy picture part saved as a 3.5kb jpg.
The second cell contains your text (in tahoma font here).

The advantage of doing it this way is that this all downloads very quickly. The image part is small (3.5kb). The text is really legible and can now be read by a search engine spider or can be translated into another language for foreign visitors. The text size can be enlarged by a visitor if they need a bigger font because of vision problems. None of that is possible with text captured inside an image.

I added more keywords to your text to help search engines better index it. Search engines look at the words used on the page to index it.

A bunch of blank button templates in gif format. Add text and do "save as" using another name. Completed buttons can be saved as jpg or gif (jpg file size will be a little smaller than gif). button blanks can be used over and over as long as they are not saved with text using their current name.
