I need to know how to blur smoothly. Whenever I try It comes out really badly and the edges of the blur area look to newbish. What I want is a blur line with a smooth edge - how can I do that?

Use the Blur tool ("waterdrop" icon) with a fuzzy brush?

by definition, blurring something would make it smooth. o_o And what does newbish mean exactly in that context? A screenshot would help.

Nevermind, I found a website that has some good GIMP tips including smudging.

Oooh, now i see what you mean. Just decrease the brush's spacing. But you've found a site so good for you.
