Haylie -

"I DO NOT WANT TO GET RID OF THE WHOLE WIDGET, since I want the other widget, however I DO NOT WANT THE NEWS AND INTEREST WIDGET."

I did not show you how to get rid of all Widgets, only to remove the News and Interests Widget, which is exactly what you just said you want.

I also showed how to modify it in my last post, which is what you could do if you actually wanted to keep it and just adjust the news feed. But now you're saying "I DO NOT WANT THE NEWS AND INTEREST WIDGET."
