Frustrating..

I don't know if this is really hard to do or if it is true that I am completely ignorant when it comes to computers. Most likely its the latter but I hate to admit it. It just took me forever to get the posts on this blog to lay out correctly. I looked at all of my friends blogs and they are so nice looking and I feel mine is boring. If anyone can give me any quick tips "Blogging for dummies" that would be great. Thanks!
