Add topic to favorites
Read the widget tutorial, but it ends after the widget is in.
Looking for info on how to add the URLs of blogs I follow.
Thanks!

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

You add nothing. The blogs I follow widget has no such settings for adding to removing blogs. It’s automatically done by the software as you follow blogs and as all widget data is cached it takes time to update.

Also note that you create a blogroll of related sites that you recommend to your readers and enter the links into it in your dashboard Links section and display them in a Links widget.

That widget formats itself automatically. Blogs you follow in the reader show up there. Blogs you don’t follow in the reader go in the Links widget.

Ohhhhh, you have to go to “Reader…” (I had been reading my other blogs by using my favorites tab in IE…)
So, it *also* turns out that when you go to the “Reader” section, it *does* let you paste in a URL. Very cool.
Thank you all!
Success! :-D
