Actually, I knew what to do, just having problems getting it all to work, have done it before, but last night either my brain was not working or my fingers were not working. Thanks, I was more or less just talking to let someone know since I have no one to talk to at home at the moment. Blowing off steam!

First, to move something, you double tap like you do in the app switcher to get where you can dismiss items, but on the second tap you move things around. What I'll do is if I want to move something to another page, I'll get on the item (by touching it or by swiping to it), then I'll take my finger to the right of the screen and do that two-tap and hold deal. Then you can move all the way left. That's how I move things around between pages. If you want to move stuff out of folders, it's the same deal--two tap and hold, then move it to the left. Once you move everything out of the folder it's in the folder will go away. Something else worth noting, to clear up clutter on my screens, I just jump all the ios crap I never use into a folder and if I ever want it I can move it back out. Only thing worth noting is voiceover gets confused (or maybe it is IOS itself), so it'll say like 5 pages when you have 4. Just lock your screen, unlock and you're set.
