   Hi,

   I am new to Word Press and am about done with my site but need some help on a few things. So, If anyone can give me some help.. in clueless girl terms ( LOL ) I would appreciate it.

   I had a blogger account, and transfered all my stuff over to Word Press. But, am confused.. what is the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?

   I want to add the little button on my site so folks can follow my feed.. but have no idea what my feed is or how/where to add it?

   Is there a way to show my followers, like one can do with a blogger account?

   I am using one of the WordPress templates that I installed, and am having some issues with it. If you look at my site.. http://www.livingsmartgirl.com ... On the side bar.. farthest right.. I cannot add any more widgets under my last one. When I do add one in my admin panel, it shows up in the other one. Yeah.. I am adding it to sidebar 2...but it shows in side bar 1. What is going on??

   I also tried to set up "MyBlogLog" and had no luck. It was asking for codes and such and I have no idea??

   Ok.. I think that is it.. LOL

   Anyone???

   Thanks in Advance :)

   WordPress.COM is a hosted blogging account - much like blogger (sign up for an account, and you get a blog). WordPress.ORG is here, where you download the source, and install it on your own site, with no third-party involvement.

   Most likely it's already there. The default theme has it in your footer. Widgetized sidebars also have it.

   You mean people who are registered subscribers to your site? Yes. You can also write a bit of PHP code to just pull that into the sidebar. There might even already be a plugin that exists for it. You'll have to look.

   Yeah.. I am adding it to sidebar 2...but it shows in side bar 1. What is going on??

   That looks like a CSS issue. Your Sidebar 2 is longer than your Sidebar 1, so it's dropping. You'll need to encase your sidebars in an outer div to stop that from happening.

   "MyBlogLog"

   ?? What is that?
