Did you link the text anywhere? Is it an IFrame? Because your source does not specify an incoming page. Maybe you just forgot to put something there.

Well I think you forgot to put a link or something like that. What exactly do you want to show up?

You can't use Normal Frames on Diaryland. You would have to use an inline frame (http://www.lissaexplains.com/frames.shtml#inline) or a DIV (http://www.``````````````/divtutorial.shtml)

Also, Diaryland has an FAQ section....

http://members.diaryland.com/edit/faq/
http://members.diaryland.com/edit/misc.phtml

Also, when I went to view your source where you have the Older Entries linked. You don't have the </body></html> at the very end and you didn't end the table code.....

<HTML><head><title>what happened before now?</title></head>

<STYLE></STYLE>
<BODY bgcolor=#2A2F19 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 topmargin=0 bottommargin=0>

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align=center><tr>

<Td valign=top background=http://utemps.50g.com/imgs/greenwomanviel1.jpg width=350 height=100 bgolor=#090B0A style="border-style:dashed; border-width:1px;border-color:#ff0099; border-bottom:0px">

</tr>
</table></body></html>
