I caught a really good picture of my toddler, but the background doesn't look nice. How can I blur it? I don't have Photoshop (and neither do I know how to use it anyway). Is there a free or cheap way I can do this online?

(I know this isn't really the right section to ask this, but the photography section and miscellaneous sections don't allow anonymous posting and I ask a few people about this already...)

Pixlr.com has an instagram-like option called Pixlr Express.

It has lots of different filters that you can play around with, both in terms of color, soft focus, stamps and other decorations to put on the photo, etc.

I don't know how to do it in software, but the type of shot you're referring to is "selective focus" which might help you find a tutorial.

I downloaded a picture onto thee computer and then in windows photo viewer in the toolbar there are choices ... click on 'open' and click on 'paint' option ... there are many options to click matching colour, tools, size, you can fill in around picture and cover the background - then save
