  I am trying to post a little blurb to accompany my “featured” photo from my featured blog post, but I can’t seem to do it, and it seems it is because I do not have “appearance” as one of my options on my dashboard. After my Dashboard menu, these are my options:
  Posts
  Media
  Links
  Pages
  Comments
  Feedback
  Ratings
  Polls.

  But no Appearance option.
  Is this because I am merely one of many authors to this blog and not the originator?
  please help!
  thanks,
  Holly

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

  Yes, each different “role” will see different things in the dashboard navigation. Only the admin for the blog can see and change stuff under the appearance tab.

  In the far left hand column on your Admin page you will see a row of Modules that expand and collapse. that’s where you will find the Appearance module.
