Hi y'all. Thanks a lot for participating. It's amazing what you all had to say about A BLANK PAGE. 
Well, the page isn't as blank as it was before (but it's still pretty pithless) but I'd like some advice on aesthetics (yeesh, that's a mouthfull). Why would anyone use the BOX tag? Can you show me a link to a site that uses it in a nice way?
Also, I'm not entirely too clear on the P tag. How is it used? And why P? (The line break tag is Br for obvious reasons)

And why don't my smileys work?

Well, P gives you a line break and skips a line, while BR just skips a line, but maybe there's also something else I don't know about. You could always check out the GuideML Clinic at http://www.h2g2.com/A187229
And you need to put a - in beween the : and the ).
