Error - Site Design/site Message

I have a writing with two links to other pages on the site.

You have a 128 pixel top margin on this element you added with the page designer that is covering those links. You nee to change that.

I can't delete these drop areas and therefore whatever I do ends up on the "site message"

You've added a lot of content rows there with very high margins that pushed it up into the header. You need to delete all those rows up there. Otherwide,  load a blank template and start over. 

some idea

Click Settings in the menu then UNDERNEATH the left menu click MYSQL query.

Copy the following line, paste it there and click run. This will delete the existing content.

UPDATE ms_calendar SET page_design='' WHERE page_home='1';

OK THANKS, EVERYTHING DELETED AND EVERYTHING CREATED NEW
