  Hi out there. I am hoping that some of you more experiences and tech-literate bloggers can give me some info. I am not very technically savvy and am slowly getting to grips with my blog. But there are still a few things I don’t understand. I have the 2011 theme and there is an option for different types of blog posts, such as “aside” and “quote”. What does this mean? And why would you select these options when posting. Next, I notice there is an option for creating menus. What is the purpose of this? Finally, when you add a pic there is an option to set it as featured. I did this once just to see what happens, but the pic didn’t show up anywhere except on the post it was in. Thanks for your patience, but I really am quite new to blogs and websites and find it difficult to grasp.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
