Help! Calling all bloggers.

I have not had the chance to figure out this blogging thing really well, so if someone could please help me out that would be great. I want to change my background to something prettier, and I want a link to other people's blogs so that I can look them up easily.

Also, all of my video files are too large. How do I shrink them so I can add them on here?

So please help me figure this out. I don't want to waste the time doing it myself. Thanks.

Oh and by the way, I'm so excited that I still have a nephew and one unknown still on the way!! Jenny, you and me are sticking together. Don't quit on me now!! :D

well, the place that I see most people getting their cute backgrounds are from this website: http://www.cutestblogontheblock.blogspot.com/ -- you just follow their directions
i prefer my plain black one, which i just went under layout, pick a new template, and did minima black.
I don't know how to shrink videos. Your camera should come with editing software that may do it. Anyways, hope that helps.

PS I hope you and Jenny don't stick together too long!

Haha no worries Cortney! I have already decided I won't have a baby until you guys have one.

There should be a link in the top left corner of my blog that takes you to a site for cute blogs- I think it is the same one Stacie listed though.

To add quick links of friends and family- go to the top right corner of your main page somewhere it should say customize-click- depending on your layout somewhere there should be a label that says "add gadget"-click-and then under all of those choices there is a label that says "link list" that will bring up a box to fill in all the info to add a link of one of your friends- you can give it a title such as Family & Friends, than it will ask for an address- this will obviously be the address of the blog's link you want to add- hit add- and than fill out the info again to add another and so on-

if it is still confusing or my way of explaining is confusing- if you give me your blogger sign in info I can do it for you. Or Linsay I am sure will love to help you next time they are there.

I help that helps!

this is why I don't have a blog page, I just read others
