What I'd really like is a widget to simply say:

Twittering... (as the title)
Follow me (this needs to be click-able as a link)

How do I get the "Follow me" to be a link and not just the html code line? If you can help, simple step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated because I'm still new at this.

Thank you!

They can click on that and then follow you there. You can also put it in your Blogroll if you want.

Just write it as a regular HTML link and put that in a text widget.

How do I just put "regular HTML link in a text widget, like "Follow me on Twitter" with appropriate link"? Is the "appropriate link" my RSS feed link? Sorry for sounding stupid for asking.

Thank you!

You know what I mean?

Oh ya, and I'm a "she".

If you don't want the display, don't use the feed. :)
