Creating another column....

how come everyone has nice links to websites in a column next to their blog! I can't get it to work, LOL! I've tried the instructions in Blogger Help but when I tried this... "Say you want to post a list of books you're currently reading in the sidebar of your main blog page. First you'll need to create a new blog. Log into Blogger and click "Create a new blog" link in the right column. Specify the information requested and then click on Settings to enter additional information needed there. We'll use "books.html" as the file name for this new blog." ...there's no Create New Blog link (although there is a Create A Blog link under the 'Last update' column. Heeeelp!
