Did you seriously put that in a .bmp format?

And all you did was make a radius'ed box and put a few words in it.

Try to put your text in a better layout. Give sections for content. 2 colums would be best, maybe images on the right, text on the left.

Your going to need to spend more time looking and learning layout design imo.

Ok.

:( the type kinda sucks. Fwiw it's not really a template YET and the arrangement of type is really weak.

^ ok, so here's some help... imo you started the whole thing way too wrong.. before even thinking about web pages and all that you should learn the basics... here are few links that could be of some help... try googling for "about web design" or "web design basics" or "color theory"... be sure you read almost everything that is related to design and colors and try to start web pages only after you have a solid basis upon you can start building.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_design
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_design

Learn as much as you can about colors and design...
You need to know some basic things before you can jump into this whole "web design thingie"...

Good Luck little guy,

Another really easy and great way to learn is to look at all the websites you visit. Take inspiration from them and learn the basics of how sites will display there content.

You will notice after a while that most sites have a similar way of displaying there information and once you understand the principles of that you will be making alot more progress.

Good to see people starting so young on this.

PS.
When you save your images to show on the web make sure they are saved as a JPEG file, BMPs are a little large for the internet.
