Frustrated by Thing 4

I already had a home page at Windows Live, just didn't know it was a "home page"--just thought it was some sort of default opening page. My husband fixed it so that I could follow the weather in 6 cities--where my kids live, etc. I should have left well enough alone! When I tried to create a page with Netvibes (to impress my husband with my new "tech" knowledge,) the problems began. After I (think) saved a page with Netvibes, I was never able to go back to change anything. I could never find the "Add Stuff," couldn't access any drop down menus for wallpaper, themes, etc.--only for column layout. Finally, I went to iGoogle and started over. Now I know it is me because the Google page got created (somewhat,) but doesn't seem to work right either, and I can't seem to change stuff. If I knew how to just delete both of these home pages, I would start over--or better still, just keep my old default page!
What I did add to iGoogle: weather (I could do all 6 cities, but couldn't get them to show all at once like on my Windows Live page;) several news sources; calculator; calendar; time; Art of the Day; Dilbert comic; facebook (although it never seemed to load;) twitter; classic solitaire game; Smithsonian National Gallery of Art; Orbitz travel; Expedia travel--and maybe some other widgets that I can't remember. I think it was just too much "stuff," because after clicking to add all these widgets, I had a hard time finding them, and the page just seemed to keep loading forever. Plus, now everytime I try to go to just plain ole Google to do a search or find an image, this home page comes up and takes forever to load... I am going to consider Thing 4 done so that my head doesn't explode, but I would love it if someone could tell me how to undo all the mess I have made on these 2 pages!
