You can also search the major search engines on how to add your URL. Some may require you to add a line of meta code to your page for verification. This is the best way.
Also with 1 and 1 you should have received a voucher for google. This will allow you to add your site to the search engine as well.
1 and 1 has a lot of information on this. Just browse through the FAQ.
Also I viewed your keywords. You need to add a lot more. This helps search engines. This is what you have - meta name="keywords" content="Christmas lights, Dan Lott, Hudsonville"><

Ok putting more keywords in one thing is when putting in two words as a keyword do you put a space in between the to words or just write the keyword as one. Like Christmaslights, or Christmas lights, never done this. Also i used the google tool i had and also submited my url with another one of there tools and they said it would take up to 72 hours.

Use the words that you think people would do a search on..so more than likely it would be Christmas Lights. I would even go as far as making it Christmas Lights, Christmas, Lights.
Think of how you do searches...more than likely that is how most people will look also.

Jim is correct - try any and all combinations for your site. Don't forget to include your location as well. Many people search for Christmas Lights in a particular location - Christmas Lights Hudsonville - you want to include this in your tag so that they get to your site with that search.
Again, you can never really have too many tags.

Ok i have added more keywords but i am not done adding yet. Also i did the google web tool that 1 and 1 has and also i added my url in another tool they had to get my url out there with all search engines. My site comes up in google now but i have to work on my key words as it does not come up with everyone i type in but with yahoo i am getting nothing. Is it something that time will take care of or did i miss something.

You have to remember that there are hundreds (if not thousands) of other websites that may use the same key words, so until you start getting a lot of hits, you will probaly be at the bottom...unless you are searching on very specific and unique words.

It can take some time because the search engines have to crawl your site first. The time frame can be between now and a month.

I am searching my website name itself and it is not coming up. I am going to work more on the keywords and let time take its path and see where that will get me.

You could always purchase advertising on Google/Yahoo. That would ensure your website would show up.
I am not sure what the storage space is of course you could use a video hosting site then use the embedded feature to post it on your site I use Yahoo video becareful with youtube because they edit out your audio
