I've done it...

It's actually quite satisfying. With a little trial and error, I've managed to add some things to the sidebar of my blog. I know there is still a '<' which I'm not sure how to remove (I've managed to get rid of it - yay!), but I managed to add an entirely new section in order to list other peoples blogs which I have enjoyed reading. I hope they don't mind, still I suppose any extra readers it generates for them will be well received. At the very least it gives me a quick link to their pages.

I actually feel rather pleased with myself, as my computer language use has so far been restricted to practicing building rather simple websites. Which I never launched. And this is live!
