If I've got meta tags on my site, will search engines automatically discover it, or do I have to do something to make them notice me?

If by "write that Java script yourself," you mean "move some stuff around on the screen and let the program write all the code for you," why yes, yes I did.

Hobbes, functions starting with MM_ are Macromedia's functions; that is, likely Dreamweaver generated.
The key things are submitting your site to google and yahoo, using appropriate descriptive text as much as possible, and getting other people to link to your site.

*wonders if he should teach annie how to create some basic program just by connecting controls in a visual editor just so Hobbes can salivate *

Seriously, I've never felt so stupid as I do now that I'm trying to make a professional-looking page. I've even been using the lessons for beginners that you recommend, fugu.

Trevor: That's true. But growing up as the kind of person that could do anything if I saw it done once, it really gets me that I am not getting this right away. I think the main problem is that I don't learn well on my own...I do better with a teacher, because I ask a bazillion questions. (Where in the South?)

Um, I was in sixth (and it might have actually been earlier, now that I think about it) a bit longer ago than you . . . I made something significantly less cool.

meta tags have fallen out of favor...since google ignores them. Google searches the text of your site, not meta tags. Google will index your page automatically, though it might take a while. If you want to make sure google indexes your page the next time it sends its spider out, go here: http://www.google.com/addurl.html
and enter your site.
