Please help me move pictures freely, and get a logical navigation menu

I am a serious newbie to iWeb. As best I can tell, I'm in iWeb 1.1.1 (so what's that? '08, '09?) I'm in OS 10.5.7 if that helps. No recent iLife. Since attempting iWeb, I have been reading and trying my best to follow the tutorial but I'm impatient because I'm not a newbie in other related areas (like graphic design, video, photoshop, iPhoto, etc.), and get frustrated with what seem like simple tasks. I'm not trying to do anything fancy. But I am getting all tripped up with two things. 1) I can't get rid of the grids or the photos in the templates unless I drop my own photos into them. Once I do, I cannot move them around freely. I added a gif animation (it took it as a QT movie and after publishing played it as a animated gif, which was great) but the one or two pictures I have next to it I simply cannot do anything with except move within the right angles of the blue grid from the template that is still there. I tried the different frame styles but none of them do anything different. I am looking for something that allows me freeform movement of the photos I am dragging in. Too much to ask? And to get rid of the grids, or at least not be bound by their definitions. I'd rather not use them at all but didn't see an option for that.
2) How do I change the page that has accidentally become my navigation menu. Before I understood this, I apparently created a page that is now my navigation menu. I want to get rid of that page altogether. But it has a star in front of it. None of the others do. Can I just create something called "Navigation Menu" and let it be just that. And build my sites and pages under that?
Thanks for patience and help.

You should post in the forum for iWeb 1, iWeb (Previous to iWeb '08) which will have users who are more familiar with the older version.
