Florence to add a list of blogs you follow to your blog hompage do this:

1.go to blogger and login then click design. A page should open showing your blog layout this is where you can move stuff around so you don't have to have all your information on one side of your blog. You just drag and drop think where you want them.
2.There will be two buttons saying add a gadget.
3.Click on of them in the pop up that opens there is a list
4.Scroll down the list and click the one that says blog list and then save

this now is going to show a list on your blog of the most recently updated blogs that you follow. If you don't want to show all the blogs you follow and just a few favourites instead of clicking blog list click link list here you can add links to the sites you want to show in the list.

Another way to link to other blogs is to go on their homepage and if they have a button 'grab it' you will know they have a button because there will be a small picture with a box underneath in that box will be loads of writing (html). Copy this and then you can put their button on your blog by clicking design. Then click add html and paste the code you copied into the large box and save. You can see an example of a grab button on my blog in the top right corner under my header.

That could be a way forward, although I am not brilliant at Facebook. I have had bad experiences from it with my kids so I tend to try and stay off of it. But for this I may be able to make an exception.

Welcome Jem
If you want to post pictures you need to upload them to a hosting site first like photobucket.com. The copy the 'direct link', click the button with the picture of mountains and a sun and past the link there. Once you click okay the image should show up.

If you want help setting up a blog just ask

Thanks Missp i have just joined your facebook group but would love help with a blog please :j

The best place to set up a blog would be blogger.com because you get free unlimited image hosting! Register an account there and choose a name for your blog and you will have a blog that easy then there is a lot you can do to customise it. It is quite an easy site to get used to and it pretty much does everything for you and then you have the choice to add the more complicated things through coding.
