Please help! Side Bar Boxes and Links question!!

Hi! I’m VERY new to this, I’ve managed to figure out a lot of things on my own but here’s one thing I can’t make sense of!

I have a knitting blog, I want one side bar box to contain my blogroll. I want ANOTHER, separate one to contain the image buttons for the webrings I am a member of. I want it set up like I have it on my old, soon-to-be-thankfully-obliviated blogspirit blog. (to get the idea: https://lickmysticks.blogspirit.com )

I can’t figure out how to do this, I set up a catagory for Webrings thinking that would do it but of course it didn’t.

I’m also concerned with the code for my webrings, where do I put it, will it work??

Someone please help me, I’m pulling out my hair and this is the last major thing before I can start sending people to the new blog!
