  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  In the Visual editor edit the page (or post) click the image you want to delete. Two icons will appear and one is a red circle with a slash through it. When that icon and the image will be deleted from the page (or post) but will still be in your Media Library.

  Thanks. It didn’t actually work that way. When I got to “edit page” there was a picture of a camera, not my individual images. But when I clicked on that there were two icons, one to delete the whole gallery and one to show the contents. I clicked on that and all of my images were listed in a table with “show” next to each one. Click “show” and another table appears with an option to “delete.” Click that and a message appears saying you are about to delete.Click “continue” and it’s done. Whew..
  Your way sure is simpler.
