Lame!!!

So we are now living in Washington!
I thought to myself, why not take this extra time and figure out how to make my blog look cool?
well... I have no idea what I am doing and can't figure it out and all the links to all my other blog pages were deleted. So, leave me a comment or something so I can get all the links back.
I've spents like an hour on the internet with nothing to show for it.
Somehow my tab that should say "layout" has gone "poof" into the internet space and all I have is a tab called "template"
I am NOT blog-smart at all.
and I am so annoyed! but leave me your links anyway please :)
