Hi jane,
Good to see you again.
This question has been dealt with already. Look into this thread.
Why submit your site to search engines?
In short, it is totally unnecessary to submit to search engines. I never submit my new sites to search engines. They are automatically picked up, so long as some other sites, that are already indexed, are linking to me. You can and should however, submit your site to major directories, Specially dmoz. And for those, most of the time there is no alternative but to submit manually.
//And by the way, harycalis is a spammer who is trying to sell his service. I noticed that he has been following jane in several forums.
