DWPF, Computer Literate but Somewhat Confused iso Blogging Expert for Friendship, Possible LTR
Can ANYONE out there tell me how to add to my sidebar in this format?? I would like to provide links to some other blogs I like to read, but I cannot figure out how. I tried reading the blogger help, but since I don't understand what I'm doing in the first place, I didn't really understand WHERE to add the html text provided in the help section on sidebars.
What I'm wondering is this: do I need to change the template of my entire blog to another one?? Are there some out here that support sidebars and some that do not?? Or can anyone talk/walk me through adding a sidebar to my existing template??
I'm willing to barter/trade for help - providing I have what someone's interested in (and that it's legal and moral - if not in good taste, lol).
THANKS!!! ...osm

I can help you, OSM. I'm a web developer by trade and would be happy to assist. Do you want to have something that automatically can add a link to your list? www.blogrolling.com has a great tool to do this. As you blogsurf and run across one that you like, you can add it to the list. They will give you a piece of code and I can walk you through putting it on the template.

on the other hand...if you want to just customize a list without blogrolling, you will need to update the list yourself periodically. If you have a couple of links that you want to start with, I can show you how to do that instead.

Jen - I'm not sure exactly how/what I want to do. I am mainly wondering if the format of my blog (the template I have chosen) has something built in to handle sidebars - I cannot tell. It looks to me as if some of the other templates are set up with a sidebar section for links, but I cannot tell about this one.
I don't mind changing my format - as long as it won't delete anything I've posted thus far (or any comments I've received).
Let me know if you would like to contact me directly about this - I'm open to any help you are willing to give!! And by the way, I really appreciate it as well!! ...osm

You have to go in and alter the template code. I'd be happy to contact you directly and help you.

Ok, Jen - GREAT! Now, how do I give you my contact information without giving out to the whole blogging world and my millions of readers?? (ha!) ...osm

Jen - I tried - my internet was down for a while tonight, so it looks like you posted this about an hour and a half before i got it. It says the page cannot be displayed. Sorry - did I miss you?
If you will ck my profile you can find one of my instant messenger names - (yahoo, I believe) - can you use that to IM me sometime? ...osm

That will work. I disabled the page I had posted so I don't get a bunch of whackos posting to it. I'll download yahoo messenger and contact you.

Thanks, Jen - sorry if I missed you earlier this morning - I was playing hookey. I should be at the computer the rest of the day. Just ping when you have the time. ...osm
