Blog Help?
Can anyone tell me how the heck you get the names on the side to show what the latest post title is? There's too many names to check them all the time...I want to be able to just read titles and see if they have a new post. Anyone know how?

Do you "follow" those blogs? You need to follow them, or subscribe in google reader, and then from your dashboard, choose layout, which takes you to page elements, select "add a gadget" and choose the "blog list" gadget. From there it will let you choose the options you want to show on your actual blog.
But if you get the google reader, you won't have to worry about that at all because it will bring all the blog posts to you. Seriously, it's the best.
On your layout, you click "add a gadget" then you chose "blog list". There will be a blog you can check that says most recently updated. The only crappy thing is that you can't convert your current list of friends & family over to it. You have to re-enter everyone one by one. Takes a while, but worth it.
I use google reader too and I just figured it out like a month ago. Its awesome! Just go to gmail and at the top click reader and then you can add the blog websites that you want to subscribe to.
Just wait, soon Sage will be finding her way out of her crib as well.
The automatic updates are so great, who has time to go through an entire list just to see who has updated?
Google Reader is a MUST!!! Log in to your gmail account (or google account) and click on google reader at the top. It takes awhile to do but totally worth it in the long run. You have to "add subcriptions" once you are in. How you do this is you have to open up each blog address, copy it, then add it to your subscriptions. If you have questions, call me. It has saved my life! But private blogs don't work on this.
