Not like from blogger.com or anything... but a REAL one.:D lol.
I suck at building my website and im starting to cry myself to sleep everynight... LOL. So ive decieded to go with a blog type layout.
Would that allow me to update without opening Dreamweaver, editing, saving, uploading to my webhosteringthing? I use GoDaddy. WOOT! lol
I like www.perezhilton.com that sort of layout. But I dont know how to get it so... HAVE PITY?! lol

Oh and another thing. How do you make a guestbook? If you go to my website you'll see I use Bravenet.. and thats laaaaaame. lol.
Id love you forever <3

Thannnnkkssss <333

Too bad you (or me, for that matter!) doesn't know enough Ruby on Rails to make it worthwhile (although I am learning!)... to build a working blog, the code would be something like:Web.popup('Blog') do
title "My WebLog"
editbox
button {cancel; save}
end and that pretty much would do it. 'Ruby on Rails' is fairly awesome...

Anyway... your page is nice. A few problems, but nothing bad that cannot be fixed:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head> <body bgcolor="#202020"> You have "<style></style>" AFTER "<body>", which isn't right, and you have TWO "<body>" tags, again, not right. And META-tags are laregely ignored by spider 'bots and search engines (google, msn, etc). Of those that DO read META data, using a "keyword" more than 5 or 6 times is essentially "spamming" and is considered to be 'gray-hat' (less-than-ethical) can can result in penality, such as low rankings, sent to end-of-list, etc.

If you must use META-data, keep your content="" to under maybe 56 words, and try to not re-use words. You have the word "layout(s)" quite a few times, thus, ignored and actually, a penalty has occurred... :(
