I am new to this forum as well as webmastering and am working on figuring out the basics. I would really appreciate it if someone could look at my site (currently its just hosted on a student .edu because I am trying to learn how to make it work for free before I go to a larger host). Here it is: http://students.washington.edu/jrgross. I can't get it indexed by the search engines. Is it because I have too little content so far, or what? I appreciate all of your help.
You would be better off creating a blogger hosted blog. It will load quicker and be indexed easier than this site. You can also use Flickr to add all your photos to a blog.
