HELP!!!!

ok I need help....heeeey not THAT kind of help!!!!! I have been trying to figure out how to add things on the side of my page....things like funny pics , I even got an award (thanks Coachblogger) but since Im new to this whole blogging world I've only mastered the part of typing the words in the blank part hehehe,I haven't figured out how to do all the cool things yet. So if anyone out there can help me that would be AWESOME!!!!!!!
