Is Maintenance For Me?

I wonder if bike maintenance is something I should even attempt on my own again...

My YBR's chain has been scarily slack, and when I measured it yesterday, it was at about 2 inches! Given the recommended is at most 20mm, it's at a scary level.

"Right," says I. "Let's sort this bad boy out."
With tools in hand, and the Haynes manual open at my side, I went to work.

After I got the slack right, tightened all the bits back up and... found the back brake was now seized.
And I can't find what I've done wrong.

*sigh*

I should also point out that the first time I tried to adjust the headlight angle on my bike, I somehow caused the bulb to blow, even though I went nowhere near the thing.
