Just started my own website, need everyone's input please?

Health,

I'll check out Smowtion, thanks:) Actually I paid for domain AND hosting with freewebs, $100 total for 1 year. I was originally with Blue Host for about a week and they actually had Joomla but everything was so complicated for me to put together, I had an EXTREMELY hard time making the site on BlueHost, BIG TIME, everything seemed too advanced for me to tackle. I like freewebs site builder applications and interface because its very easy and understandable. Otherwise, I would have went with something like Wordpress but they're very expensive.

I made it black background because I want to comfort the reader's eyes when they read the content with a background that's not bright and text and links that are highlighted by green and yellow colors. The black helps those colors stick out as well as doesn't overwhelm the eyes with a colorful background. The electricity thing, ah well, I don't know, it kind of stuck. The main theme of the site was black and green, however I found a limited selection of black backgrounds with green headers. I can always upload one from flickr though.

Well... wordpress and joomla are totally free. And a hosting company should help you with things you tackle with.
One big advantage of Joomla and Wordpress beyond them being totally free is that you can move hosts easily. You just create a backup of the site, and move it. You might not think on it right now, but as your site grows, you would probably start thinking on bigger and faster host, and wish you could have this feature or the other... and maybe, one day you would like a server of you own.
I think you can actually save by hosting with Joomla or Wordpress. If you need any help with them, PM me and I'll show you how. This blog has taken me about 2 minutes to setup - since I'm hosting with the right company: http://ycc.co.il/blog

What exactly do you mean by having a server of my own? Sorry, I'm not too much of a website expert, I consider myself intermediate at best but not a full blown expert. Is the server the same as a domain? Because i already have my own domain.

Ok, at the moment you have a hosting account and a domain name. The domain name is the address, and the actual data is the hosting account (you get a portion of a hard drive on a server computer).

When you start, your site has a small data base (if any) and small traffic. As you grow, people will sign up to your site/newsletter, the lists would grow, as well as content and traffic. In order to maintain stability, you would need to get a better host or lease a server of your own (which means, no other sites would be on that server). But that is a long way from now.

What I was trying to say in the former message was, that you should think ahead when choosing a content management system to work with. If you choose the system you are working with now, you would be stuck with it since moving a big site is usually hard. Using Joomla or Wordpress is easy. And not only that - the support for both systems is more abundant, free and you are not relaying on one company alone.
