People who are following me, how did you do it? I think I'll put a link down the side.
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions! :)
I'll start properly posting as soon as I've gotten the layout fixed

I need help!
Hi! So, just in case you haven't noticed, my layout is very impractical. There's not button to comment, and none to follow. Can anyone at all help me?

I just went to my blog homepage and added the url to your blog manually through there.
I like your layout from an aesthetics perspective, but agree that it is difficult to do simple things. You should be able to modify the layout to add the various things you need, but the template might be preventing that.
Much Love,

The heightened contrast between text and background makes it easier on the eyes, IMO.
At the top right of my front page there are links for New Post, Costomize, and Sign Out. If you go to customize and then choose the Page Elements tab, you should get a screen which has buttons for Add a Gadget. Choosing Followers should take care of that.
There is a comments button below your signature. It's kinda small, but at least with the new colo(u)r scheme it's easier to find than it used to be. Maybe your template puts it there and in that size. In my format the Customize tab, Page Elements screen also has a section called Blog Posts with an Edit link in the lower right. Try clicking on that and see what options it gives you.
As for becoming your follower, the Customize page has a Dashboard link (among others) at the top right. I went there and then down the page a bit to Reading List. The Blogs I'm Following tab (which I think is the default) gives an area with a button for Add. By clicking that I get a pop-up screen that asks for the url of the blog I want to follow. I had copied yours from the front page of your blog, so I pasted it in, clicked Next, chose the Follow Openly option, and clicked Follow. Now when you post something, I should get an alert in that same Blogs I'm Following section of my Dashboard. But it can take a couple of hours for the system to update.
While you're on the Dashboard page, you might also want to check out the stuff about profile in the upper left. View Profile lets you put things in there, and Edit Profile gives you an option of making it available to readers. If you decide to let us see the profile, be sure you don't give more information in the profile than you want us to know. And you can leave elements blank if you don't want to tell us. (The Blogs I Follow part will list any that you selected to follow publicly, the way I selected yours.) Once you have what you want on the View Profile Page, if you want to make your profile available for us, go to Edit Profile, and enter only the items you want to share with the world. You can leave blanks in any of the boxes that you want to.
I hope this helps.
