The DOCTYPE that you should use is HTML 4.01 Transitional.
Also, the DOCTYPE goes at the very top of the page before anything else like so:

Bay Area Wedding Guide

In addition to the link that Renegade gave you HERE is another that may be of some help.

Okay,

I just added something (that I think is the correct DOCTYPE html) into the html on my homepage at http://www.bayareaweddingguide.com

I still don't understand what the actual html does, though I understand it has something to do with the type of browser your site is opened in? At any rate, do I have it right?

Thanks,
