Default Help! 1998 Honda Accord LX Not Starting

I am a college student, and those of you who are, or have been in college, know you don't drive much. well about 3 weeks ago, i went to go start my car and the battery was completely dead, not even the power locks worked, and the lights on the dash were extremely dim. I tried to get a jump, however that didnt work. i changed the battery today and it still wont start, however the power locks work, and the dash lights are normal again. when i turn the key, nothing happens, no clicks or anything. one weird thing that happens is that when i open the door, i hear a weird clicking noise, and the front blinkers will start flashing. when i close the door, after 30 seconds it stops. could this have something to to with my car not starting? thanks in advanced

Do you have an alarm system? I'd make sure your battery is charged up, check your connections and main ground, and then if it still won't turn you might want to get a new starter. You can get a test light and see if there's current going to the starter, that'll be cheaper than buying a new one.
