Ah - I've accidentally done this myself too.......... you need to Deselect the selection before adding the Gaussian Blur. Otherwise the blur has nowhere to go. If you read it through again you will notice you missed this tiny, but important, step.

I just did it again, Geoff, and the same thing happened. I DID deselect before adding the Gaussian Blur and I was on the layer filled with black.
Any other thoughts?????
