Some other options that you have:

1) Associate blogs with different accounts by transferring them (note that you'll need to use different credentials to log into each of your blogs). You'll need to create new accounts first. More about transferring a blog to a different account (username): http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

2) Use the Links widget (note that it only has a list view, no grid view): http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/links-widget/

And I want to display the 'Blogs I follow' in a few of them. I want any of my BLOG to follow another blog - not my USER to follow another blog. The later is what is happening and hence the 'Blogs I follow' shows all the blogs that all my blogs follow. How can I make my separate blogs to follow and display separate groups of blogs they follow. Hope someone gets my question. :)

Will try again and see what happens. Thanks!

You can see the list of blogs you follow here: https://wordpress.com/#!/read/edit/

If you'd like to follow more blogs, you can see some recommendations, grouped by topic, here: https://wordpress.com/#!/read/recommendations/

I'll flag this thread for Staff to take a look at it and see if there is an issue or not.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be updating with blogs I've subsequently decided to follow, so perhaps just not working...

The software automatically adds blogs to the Blogs I Follow widget in accord with the blog you click the follow button on.

You can create a Blogroll in your dashboard Links section http://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/add-a-blogroll-link/ and display it in a Links widget. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/links-widget/#cant-see-the-options
