Hey Ronae!!! Cute blog. I'm glad you figured out how to make it look cute. See you know something that even I don't know:) Cute ultra sound picture. You'll have to get some cute prego pics up when you get around to it. Well, I'll try and answer your questions. I'll answer the second question first. The tools you see on your screen are only there if you are signed in to your blog. NOBODY else can see them. You can click on them to edit or change those different sections of your blog. To answer your first question. If you are signed in to your blog by going to the very top right hand corner you will see the buttons that say, "create blog & sign in" and if you are signed in you should also see the buttons "new post & customize." If you click on customize you will see on your screen a rough layout of your blog. So you can either click on "customize" or if you see a button that says "layout" it will bring you to the same thing. You'll see on the right hand side a column with gray rectangles that say things like "about us" and "blog archive" You will also see a button that says "add gadget" click on it. It will bring you to a list of options you can choose from. If you want yours to be like mine so that you can see when someone posts something new, then click on the one that says "blog list" if you just want the link, then click on "link list." From there you can title it what ever you want such as "family blogs, friend blogs, etc." I have mine sorted by most recently updated and I have it showing all blogs. You can then check which ever boxes you want to apply. I have "icon, title of most recent item, & date of last update" checked. You will then click on the button that says add to list and it should ask you to add by url. You will then enter in the blog address of whoever you want to add . You can continue to add whoever you want and if you want to rename them you can. You will see a "rename" button right next to the name of their blog in the list you are creating. When you are finished adding people be sure to save and then it should take you back to the page where you can add and arrange page elements. You will see a gray rectangle that now has the title that you chose for your list of blogs. If you want to rearrange that you can drag the gray rectangle so that it is last or first or in the middle of the other gray rectangles. ANYWAY... I hope this wasn't too complicated. I tried to be as detailed as I possibly could be, but I hope that didn't make it even more confusing. If so, just call me. Good luck and again I am way excited for you to blog!!!!
