Hello! This is my first (and hopefully last) attempt for help with my D3200. When I print or upload my photos, one side of the picture is blurry. It is clear in the viewfinder and the screen when I review it on the camera, but not in the finished product. I've removed the lens and cleaned the inside of the camera and all of my lenses, but it's still blurry on one side. Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated!

Please post a photo with all EXIF data
The data we're asking for is called EXIF. Do a Google on how to download a program that will give you the EXIF data.
Hey there thought I'd post in here that I've had some issues with my D3200 and blurry photos too, I've tried many different settings ,shutter speeds and techniques and maybe I get 2-3 in focus pictures out of ten , dunno if the 24 mp sensor magnifies poor techniques or if the camera is tempermental or I'm just a bad photographer. Just take lots of pictures and you'll get some keepers .

Not really good advice. Better to try and learn how to take a good photo than to just shoot a bunch and hope to get a couple.
One thing that may be happening it that since you are shooting inside and in low light the lens is wide open and that gives you narrow depth of field. You might as someone has already suggested shoot at a higher Aperture like f8 or f11 but remember that you still have to have a high enough shutter speed so you don't get movement. Movement causes blur but what you have is our of focus. You may need to shoot at a higher ISO to get what you need.
I took these today just to see how they'd turn out with an upclose picture , both pictures are cropped but the detail from the D3200 is pretty good .Getting the camera to do what you want does take some time and lots of practice and tossing lots of pics away.

That is really not a good way of trying to get the "Money Shot". You should initially familiarize yourself with the camera so that you can avoid the "Shoot and pray" method.
You do what to avoid having the aperture at "lower" values (F1.8-F5.6) as it will promote a shallow depth of field. So with that said, when you shoot at "Higher" numbers F8- and up you are closing/narrowing the aperture and allowing for more depth of field in the images and will help avoid those blurry corners. You should try this at home by going into "A" Aperture Priority and playing with the F values so that you understand how this plays part into depth of field.
Please do not persecute me for my description. Just trying to put this into a perspective for someone just getting into the hobby. But the lower value numbers and higher value numbers are switched around and read backwards in actual photography terms for the aperture.
Also imagine that you are looking at a room. When you have your eyes wide open (wide open aperture), you can get a very clear image of what is directly in front of you, and everything else in the background blurs or is out of focus. When you squint (narrowing of aperture) you are able to focus onto an item that would have some distance. That would probably be the best way of describing this.
and Redtail, when you start cropping photos you are eliminating those edges that the OP is speaking of. Just sayin.
