okay bloggers

I need to know how to get my list of friends that I'm following onto the side of my page, like I've seen on so many of yours! I've been working on this for about an hour...I managed to get a template that is different from the one's that come on here...so that's a step forwards! But, I'm still having trouble with the friends thing. I've got them all added, but they don't show up on my blog. Any suggestions?!?
