Is it possible to watch others play Blitz games to understand what goes on and learn how to play without wasting other player's time? If it is possible through the Blitz start page, I cannot locate this feature. Thanks.
Blitz has a fast timecontrol, you start the game and keep playing it untill it finishes. Blitz games do not count for your rating. Blitz games use the drag and drop way to move pieces (opposite to 'normal' games where you click a piece, click a square to go to and hit Submit Move). Other then that all the normal chess rules apply.

Thanks. I understand "increment" is time allowed to make each move, But "Initial Time", is this time to start game, must you wait for this time to expire before beginning, or, is this a time constraint that the game must be finished in?
I could be wrong tho, dont often play blitz, lose alot on time out;(
