Why

Why are things like adding links to my blog so hard to do? I'm a simple soul, who's been dragged into the modern world, kicking and screaming, well, moping and complaining really, but either way: Why is it so hard? Why can't I have a nice shiny links page with a box saying "add link name here"? Is it so much to ask? Boy, you sure get maudlin at this hour!
I find it amusing that the Blogspot spell check doesn't recognise blog.
