Minimalist poet, minimalist lifestyle

For quite a while now I've been noticing that most people on blog.co.uk have started adding extra links and features to their blogs; stats counters and links to external sites in particular. I'd like to incorporate some of this software/code into this blog, but haven't got a clue how to do it - maybe these features are only available to 'pro account' users...I don't know.

I haven't even managed to set up a bloglist yet...all I do is type in text. Maybe I need to download some additional software in order to improve the appearance and functionality of my blog...maybe there are things that aren't compatible with my old operating system, Windows 98SE.
