I am struggling re adding the blog. I seem to have added it as I now see the "blog" box when I go to website manager. But I have no idea what page it is attached to. I want to delete and start again. how do i do that please?

I was trying to add a blog to my site and can't actually find which page I must have added it to. So I can see the 'blog' box under websites manager but have no idea which page it is associated with so I want to delete it and start again.
After messing up with that site I tried with another of my sites and successfully added a blog.
So I want to remove the blog function totally from site one and start all over again.

Site:jackydonovan.com
Page:jacky-donovan-blog-instant-whip-and-dream-toppings.html
Delete the element from the site or the page as a whole.

No that blog is the one I set up correctly!
The site I have problem with is instantwhipsanddreamtoppings.com
I went to the Insert, then the blog box without knowing what I was doing and added a blog. BUT it never came up with info on a page telling you how it worked (which it did on the jackydonovan site)
But it HAS added a blog somewhere to the site as, wehn i go to websites manager, I can see the blog box between 'edit site' and 'stats'
And if I try to add a blog properly - ie. go to the page I have set up on the site (called blog), go to insert then blog, I get a message asking did I already add a blog to my site and that I shouldn't have 2 blogs on the one site. So it knows there is a blog set up somewhere on the site. But I can't see it anywhere and want to know (a) how to find it and (b) how to delete as it seems to be invisible!

I don't see it on any page. You can add it by using the insert button to whichever page you like on that site.

Sorry maybe I'm not explaing very well.
No it won't let me add the blog to the blog page - or rather it advises me not to - as it recognises that somewhere on the site a blog is lurking and it gives the following warning message which indicates I've already tried to add a blog :
Did you already add a blog to your site?
If you add a second blog:
The second blog will show the exact same posts as your original blog.
Your users may get confused and think they are looking at two blogs that show different posts.
Search engines like Google and Yahoo! may rank your site lower because you have two web pages with the same content.
Cancel Ok
Also supporting this is the fact that, if you go to website manager
You see the drop down list of wesbites
I choose instantwhipsanddreamtoppings
It gives me 3 buttons to click on - edit / blog / view stats
So BOTH of these facts demonstrate that somewhere somehow a blog is half set up and I need to find it and delete it otherwise the search engines will think I have two....

and if I USE the blog manager and add a blog entry - which I have done - it never appears anywhere on the site, suggesting again that the blog itself is "hidden" somewhere somehow

Ok, try again to add it. I disable the blog on this site. Adding it on now will add the element and reactivate it on whichever page you are on.

Now my last comments to you here have disappeared!!! The problem is STILL identical to the one I report above. And if I go to websites mgr, click the blog box, you will see i added a post there hours ago which is nowhere on my site.
I can't add another blog as (a) homestwead warns me there is one on the site and (B) google could lower the ranking of my page.
ALL I want to do is DELETE the blog function ENTIRELY from the instantwhipsanddreamtoppings website so that there is NO sign of it at all anywhere. As if it never ever existed. Then I will start again and do it properly like I have with my other site jackydonovan.com
