Over on Stephen's blog, I added a link to New Mexico Ice Hockey under links at the right. This is a little tricky to do; it requires modifying the template.
From the blogger Screen select the Template tab, and scroll down to the links area. There is a link to google news and now a new one to New Mexico Ice Hockey. And, there are two "edit me!" place holders.
I just added a link there, using the google news link as an example of the proper format.
You probably do not want to do a bunch of these until/unless you are ok with the template ("style") of your blog. If you change it to another one then you will have to reenter these links on the new template.
Once you make a change and publish it (or add a new post and do a Post & Publish) it will be updated on your web site.
Note this it is important to get the format right. A missing or extra quotation mark or less-than or greater-than character can really mess things up (and is a problem that is hard to find). To minimize that problem, I suggest when working on the template make one change and preview it. Check to make sure it is ok. Then make the next change, preview it, check it and so on. Publish it only if the preview looks ok. That way, when you make a mistake (and you will one day) it will be easier to know where the mistake is, so it will be easier to find and to fix it, or to not save the changes and start over.
