Glad it helped. Firefox is a great browser as well, so I think you'll like it! Happy blogging. :)

I finally found the answer to this for me anyway. I have been using I.E now I am using
Firefox and deleting the widget works just fine !! I guess it was a browser problem.
Thank you to all for the help!

I had the same problem, but managed to drop a widget back into the widget box by dropping it BETWEEN the widgets. It didn't work if I tried to drop it to the empty space of the box, but when I moved it between the other widgets, they "made space" and it then dropped there. I used IE.

I'm not sure there's much else we can say if that's not working for you. What browser are you using? You could try a different one, see if you get different results with that; if you're using either Opera or Safari, Firefox would be a better choice.

Try like that:
Drag the widget from the "Side bar" to the bottom box. Then do as you press the moving-widget onto the existing widgets (from the top row) there so that they move down.
Then release the mouse.
Best luck!

You need to drag it down into the "available widgets" pane below the "sidebar" box. Drag it to the upper left of the available widgets box and the widget titles there will move over. Then just release the mouse button.

I did see you address this problem , by dragging widget to bottom
left of the widgets columns but I tried this and it just pops back
up to the sidebar again. What am I doing wrong please?
Thank you,
