You can find some useful tips on meta tags etc. and submit your site to the search engines for free here:

Couple of general comments:
Centred Text: OK for headings, but makes body text harder to read, leave it left justified.
"Blind Alley" links: The links from the home page lead you into the site, the only way to access other areas of the site is to return home. You can't jump between sections of the site, as you can on this site for example, consider having the the links Sophy's Story, Your Pictures, Message Board etc. at the top of each page of the site.
Underlining: Best not to have any text underlined that isn't a link, it's confusing.
Fonts: Sans-serif fonts (Arial, Verdana etc.) are generally easier to read on screen than Serif fonts like Times New Roman.
