The text box I thought would be more helpful in placing wording instead of pics. I had read that I wanted more words on my home page than photos. Is this wrong?
No, you're not getting it. Text boxes, doesn't matter what you put in them are no good full stop. Looking at the page now the text is in table cells and that's fine. Don't be tempted ever to Insert Text Box.
I'm sorry but I'll never agree with you about that header. What is the point of the puppies flashing orange? Puppies don't do that, they usually stay pretty much the same colour all the time unless they get near a muddy puddle.
Putting in a static header gives you better content as well. At the moment what Google sees when it looks at your header is:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a)&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
if (a.indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a;}}
}
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.0
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers.document);
if(!x && document.getElementById) x=document.getElementById(n); return x;
}
function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
if ((x=MM_findObj(a))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}
//

If you do a normal header with a picture and a Heading it'll see something more like:
<img src="dogs.jpg" width="35%" alt="Picture of Schnauzers">
<h1>PupClassifieds.com</h1>
Google likes Headings, they tell it what the page is about. You currently have no headings at all.
