Oh Beatrice - what a lovely name - I have an 80 year old friend with the same name - you certainly have to spread yourself around when no longer married, but all the better for that.

If you ever do find out all the how-tos, please do let me know as I, too, struggle with them. I've spent hours getting very lost and confused on this website. I would link to you if I could!

Hello Beatrice, to display links, log in to your blog, click on customise, then template. Then 'add a page element', click on 'link list'. Then you'll need the website address of the blog you want to link. visit their blog, copy their web address, the http:// address at the top of the page, then go back to your 'link list' and paste or type their blog address into the box that says new site URL. Click save changes, then it should appear on your blog.

Also, you haven't clicked on the bit to allow anyone to comment on your blog (eg: anonymous comments). I think that is in 'customise', settings, then 'allow anyone to comment' or something like that. At the moment, the only people that can leave comments on your blog are other bloggers.

HOpe at least some of that helps! So is all of your blog completely made up? Or did the window-cleaner really come?! I like your style anyway!

Right - first of all make sure you are signed in and at your 'dashboard'.

Then click on 'layouts'. You will get something that says 'add and arrange page elements'.

Click on 'add a page element (on the right). Then choose 'link list' (top right). Press 'add to blog'.

Give it a title. Cut and paste the url of the site you want to link to in 'new site url' (remembering to delete the http:// that is already in the box).

Do this for as many sites as you want to link to, then press 'save changes'. Voila, you have a box of links to other blogs, websites etc that you like, which you can go in and change whenever you feel like.
