Can you give use more detail. Such as a link to your site, were you got the code from. By buttons do you mean link made to look like a buttons? What does the load of characters look like?
And most of all exactly what are you trying to achieve, a horizontal menu?

Hi my site is www.aweldegbullmastiffs.co.uk I'm trying to put buttons along the top so people can press them and go to my other pages. I found a way to do coloured buttons but needed paintshop pro and i'm only on windows 98 and this doesn't support it so went to a site that offered free website buttons, then you could add text and 'save as picture' I thought it would just be a case of copy and pasting the code in somewhere. This is just the first line of code. GIF89a¢ + ç ;2"ÊÊⲶ¶–BRRzZ

I got write some code for you. First replace your menu with this
And then put this between your <head> </head> tags
You will have to change the name of the GIF image used. If it does not work perfectly, or you don't like white text I will help you fix that. Using this instead of what you are using will have a number of advantages, one being that search engines link Google will be able to follow those link, because they are links and not button how you were using them.
Also one tip, don't use spaces in your links, it does not work properly use _ instead.
<ul id="menu">
<li>
<a href="About Us.html">About Us</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="Our dogs.html">Our Dogs</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="Tess' pedigree.html">Tess' Pedigree</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="Sunnys Pedigree.html">Sunny's Pedigree</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="Puppies.html">Puppies</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="Photo gallery.html">Photo Gallery</a>
</li>
</ul>
And then put this between your <head> </head> tags
<style type="text/css">
#menu {
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#menu li {
list-style-type:none;
width:158px;
height:40px;
background:url('chang_this_to_your_image.gif');
float:left;
}
#menu a, #menu a:visited {
display:block;
padding:8px;
text-align:center;
text-decoration:none;
color:#ffffff;
}
</style>

Can you please up load a test page and post a link to it here so I can see what you mean?
I think presentation is important too, I read that the men are just as bad as the girls when it comes to how a site looks, worse sometimes.
It is good if your friends can find you via google too.

Lot of money for an FTP program 
I would go with http://www.smartftp.com/ http://www.coreftp.com/ or if you use Firefox http://fireftp.mozdev.org/ I used all of them and there good programs. Almost anyone gives the first two when asked for the best free FTP clients.

SmartFTP is what I have been using for a couple years now. It's simple, easy to use and free.
Another alternative for free is FileZilla. I don't like it ias much as SmartFTP, but again it's simple, easy and free.
