Need guidance on small code

Ty for the help. I rewrote the code a bit, while waiting for an answer, but it shouldn't be much difference.

I did what you told me and i got me a bit closer to working, but not quite yet.
Right now it blinks on every second press, but only when the button is pressed, not for the entire time until i press the button again.

#include <SerialLCD.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
const int buttonPin = 2;
const int buttonPin1 = 7;
int count = 0;
int count1 = 0;         
int lastButtonState = 0;
int buttonState = 0;
int buttonState1 = 0;

SerialLCD slcd(4,3);

void setup() {
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(buttonPin1, INPUT);
  slcd.begin();
  slcd.print("TEST");
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop(){
  buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  buttonState1 = digitalRead(buttonPin1);
    Serial.print ("Button press count = ");     
    Serial.println(count, DEC);
  if (buttonState != lastButtonState) {
    if (buttonState == HIGH) {
      count++;
  }
  lastButtonState = buttonState;
  if (count %2 == 0){
    slcd.noDisplay();
    delay(200);
    slcd.display();
    delay(200);
  }
  else {
      slcd.display();
    }
  }
}
