I need help fellow bloggers!

 

I would love to be even a fraction as talented as some of the amazing bloggers I am following yet I can't seem to figure half the things out.  As an example I can't figure out how all the bloggers have a "grab my button" link but I have no idea what to do once I grab these buttons and why don't I have a button?!?! I was also just recently booed and have no idea how to see how many followers I have to find someone with more (nearly everyone), nearly the same and less then myself.

I have also noticed how most of the blogs I've begun to follow talk about linky parties... I feel in over my head.  I can talk about what I am doing and upload some pictures as well as links but that is where this little country bumpkin hits overload. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
