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

  Hi Elizabeth – The Blogs I Follow widget is automatically generated, but you can create a “Blogroll” of any sites you want using the Links widget. Here is a guide on how to add and organize links for the widget:

  Let me know if you have additional questions!

  I followed the directions, and it appears to be done in my dashboard, but the non-wordpress blog that I added still does not appear on my list of blogs I follow! What’s up?

  Hi Elizabeth – You just need to go here and drag the Links Widget into your sidebar:

  It will display all the links that you have listed under Links, so you might also want to delete these default WordPress.com ones:
