Wanted: Someone Who Knows How to Use This Damn Thing

Ok, so I obviously understand the basics of blogging. I mean what isn't there to understand? But when I try to make my blog better, I found I really have no idea what I'm doing.

1. Adding your profile. At first this feature was down then it wasn't, I made a profile and I don't understand why it isn't loading on the main page.

2. Adding other things to the sidebar. I managed to add one feature but nothing over there is the color or size I want it to be. I felt like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears...sometimes it was too small, other times too large. I'm still searching for my "just right".

3. Adding photos. So I download that Hello program only to see you need to add picture to a webpage first and then insert the weblink...ahh what?

4. I'm jealous- I see pretty blogs. I want a pretty blog. Maybe they are all programmers and I shouldn't feel that bad.

Want to help?
