Hi Alexandra,
With the moon widget displayed here, that is a simple code which you need to add to a widget for your blog. It will depend on what sort of blog you are running. I have used this successfully in Wordpress and in my own website. For what it's worth here is the code for a Moon and Sun widget. don't know if you know how to create a custom widget in your proposed blog, or how familiar you are with using this code, so just copy, paste and save it for now and get some help later...

As Paul said, get Jupiter 2 and virtual Moon Atlas. I can vouch for these 100%. And you have Stellarium. They are my three observing applications I think are a must for anyone starting out.
