Fishing for Help
Being very new to blogging, and not much of a techy, I tried to figure out how to add another blogger's page to my Links list. I clicked on "Template" and found lots of 'Computer-ese.' I scrolled down to where I could see the place that has to do with links. I pasted in the name of the other man's blog, but it didn't work. I searched all over in all the different areas - more than once. I don't have a lot of patience for that kind of thing. I'd rather have someone show me how or do it for me so I can get on with other more enjoyable things - writing the blog, playing fiddle, eating :-)... Same with the counter (for counting how many people visit the blog,) that Someone told me about. I tried to install it on that same 'Template' page, but it didn't work. I'm pretty sure it can't be all that difficult to manipulate the software. I'm just missing something. It has been at least a month since I first started trying to figure these things out. It is pride that has kept me from airing my ineptitude thus far, but I want to solve the problem, so here is my plea. If any more expreienced blogger reads this, can you give me some feedback about how to add someone to 'Links,' and how to install the counter... Thanks In Advance, Trucking Fiddler...

Ken, if you will go to your template and find the urls for "Google News" and "Edit Me," you will see the pattern. Just place the url of the blog you want to link to in the proper place and then replace the words "Edit me" with the name of the blog you want to link to, and voila it's done. But everything has to be exactly the same as the pattern, i.e. if there's no space between something, you can't have a space; if there's a quotation mark around something, you have to put a quotation mark around it. It's really quite simple once you get the hang of it. Also, in your template, you might want to change your comments preferences to require verification. Otherwise, you're going to be inundated with junk comments.
Glad to be aboard the blogging caravan. Can't help you with your questions, as I am not much of a techy myself. Hope your finger is on the mend.
Thanks for your help. I was laptop-less this past week while driving alone while Peggy stayed home. Now home for the weekend and catching up on email, I implemented what you said, mr. amishlaw. But I understand it takes some time before things appear on the page. And yes, thanks, my finger is all better now.
