hunter, not sure what you are using to make the image, photoshop is quite simple to do, there is an effect called stroke which outlines your text, but I guess you arent using that so you can always use the jerry rigged way of outlining text. Create a layer using the same font face and words, but all 1 color (the color you want the outline to be) but make the font size slightly larger so that way it will show from behind your original text. It works ok with small text, but the larger it is, the more distorted it will look because the center will not have the same width outline as the left and right sides. Another possible solution may be to use a drop shadow, again, if you have to do it manually, just create a layer of the text in black with everything else the same, and position it slightly lower and to the side.
