Aha, got it figured out.  Back up with Bob and BJ.  Too embarrassed to reveal the simple solution that was already there. But why does the list of entries on Bob and BJ's blog, the list to the left of the page in blue, have a small, rapid, up and down vibration?  Kind of a distraction while reading the Carmichaels fine blog.

And look at me, just blogging away.  Who'd a thunk it?

So, it appears that I have to start a blog to follow another blog.  And yet the fine folks at Google seem not to deemed it important to provide info on how to do this.  I had been following a friends blog of his and his wife's travels.  Then a I bought a new computer and the link that appeared in the old tool bar disappeared. Now, a year later, I am trying to get that easy connection back.

Thanks, Google for making something that should be easy such a PIA.  Hopefully, I'll get it figured out one day.  And not the day before I die!
