Fairly new to the game been playing about 3 weeks now and came across the Foreman mod which lets you import blueprints into the game that others have created. I cant seem to figure out how to export ones that I have created. I create the blue print usually of smelting setups cause that is currently what I am pretty good at them. And then I save it etc, and click the E for export on the Foreman mod and it never shows up in the GUI list! I was wondering if I am doing something wrong or what!

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Why do you use a mod for that? Since a while back the base game has the same functionality.
Open a blueprint - beneath the green check there is a button that lets you export the blueprint as a string.

Well this is all I have when messing with blue prints

Also I might add when I hit B nothing happens to bring up the blueprint GUI

It is an experimental branch. This means it will not push as an update on steam automatically until it is declared stable. You can manually install it.
