Rad/Coolant problems

Hey guys, while i was doing my oil flush yesterday, i decided to change the thermostat and flush my cooling system. Rad is dumped, new thermostat is in and i let the block drain too. I follow the FSM directions and fill my rad while the air relief plug is open, and proceed to close everything and start the motor. Under ideal conditions, when warm, the thermostat would have opened, let the coolant into the block and the level in the rad would have gone down, and i would have topped it up. Well, it seems that i must have an air bubble or something because i dont think water is flowing through the block.

I thought maybe it wasn't getting hot enough so i took it for a spin around the block. Obviously the car got realllly warm (temp gauge showed normal though) and i think my rad overflowed because I had coolant all over the bottom/front part of the engine compartement.

I don't know what to do at this point so if you have any ideas, throw them my way, any help is appreciated. Sorry for the long winded post.

Thanks,

-Matt

CLIFF NOTES: COOLANT DOESNT SEEM TO BE FLOWING IN THE SYSTEM. HELP!
