Thanks to all of those who helped me out with my questions. You're all the best!!
I really need some help from those of you who know about this kind of stuff. Please help me figure out a few important things so I can become a better blogger! :)
1. If you become "private" can you still have people who do not have blogs view your blog?
2. How do you get your "friends and family" list to show when they updated last? I love it but don't know how to do it. Also, does it take a long time to do?
3. How do you change your backgrounds? Is it difficult? Is it something I could do with out being totally frustrated? Is it quick?
I know these questions take lengthy responses but I would really appreciate the help. If you would rather email me feel free. Thanks in advance! shanawilson6@msn.com

Hey Shana! Ok, I can answer all three of those questions!
1. Yes, people that do not have blogs can still look at your private blog. They just have to have a google account so sign in with. Most people already have one, but if they don't it takes about 10 seconds to create one. When you send them an invite it will prompt them to make a google account so it is really easy.
2.To make the people on your list move up and down, you go into your dashboard, click "layout" and then click "add a gadget." Choose to make a "blog list" you have to go in and retype all your addresses of friends and family blogs but it shouldn't take too long. ALso, anyone's blog who is private will not move up and down. It will stay at the bottom of your list, so you just have to check that one on your own. You can still put them on your list, they just won't move.
3.IT is super easy to change your background! My favorite site is www.thecutestblogontheblock.com. (The cutest blog on the block) They are free and super cute! Once you find the one you like, click on it and it will show you a box with some crazy mixed up words! You copy those words and then go back to your dashboard and click "add a page element." choose to "add an html/javascript." All you have to do is paste what you copied into that box and hit save and you are done! There are better instructions on the website.
Hope this helps you! Good luck!
1. Yes. they just need to sign up for a google account(ie give their names/email/etc.) It is very easy. They do not have to have gmail or a blog in order to see your blog. You will basically send them an invitation to their email and it will give them instructions on what they need to do.
2. go to edit layout. If you set up your friends and family by adding a bloglist, it's really easy. Click on "family and friends" edit button and select the appropriate buttons at the top and save. If you set it up some other way, you will need to add a bloglist and transfer the information over. When you add the bloglist, it has a list of options at the top that you just click on, depending on what you want.
3. Someone else could probably answer that one better than me.
Hey you! Well hopefully I can help you out with your questions. For the first question if you do decide to go private people who do not have blogs can still view it they just have to have a google account and password (plus when you go private you have to invite them, which means you send them an email and then they approve it to view it)
2nd question. For you to get the updates about friends and family when you sign in go to your layout and click add a gadget. then go to blog list and your should be able to add the html that they use for their blog. It does take a little time but worth it:)
3rd question. For you to change your blog sign in and go to layout. Now depending on where you get your background from it could change the way you put it on. But I would recommend using www.cutestblogontheblock.com! They have a lot of cute background to choose fun. When you decide which one you want it tells you step by step instruction to put it on. But hint you have to make sure that you have a MINIMA background(which is under pick a new template)! It doesn't take long at all. After you choose your background you might need to go in and change the color of your fonts depending on the type of background that you get. Which is just under fonts and colors in your Layout!
I hope that helped you out and hopefully everything works out:) Let me know if you need anything else..just leave me a comment or you can email me at cutie_bunny18@hotmail.com
Hey girl!
First, yes those who do not have a blog can still view it when you make it private. I just made mine private and there are a few friends who can view it and they don't have one. They just have to give you their email address so you can send them an "invite" and then they have to sign in to view it. If you want directions on how to make it private, let me know. Its SUPER SUPER SUPER easy!!!
Second, I use www.thecutestblogontheblock.com for my backgrounds. On that website, once you find a background you like there are directions on how to make that your new background. It too is SUPER SUPER easy.
Let me know if you have more questions. I don't know how to do the update thing with friends blog, so I can't be of advice on that one. Sorry. Call or email me or something if you have more questions!
If you want to come over I can show you. We can make it a play date.. It is too hard to explain over email or phone. In person is best.
