Adding pull-down menus in Twenty Eleven

    I want to have multiple pull-down menus at the bottom of my header (next to the “Home” and About” menus). Under these menus would be a list of specific essays (posts) by name. Your Twenty Eleven demo shows additional menus, one of which appears to fit my preference. But any custom menus I make only replace the “Home” and “About” pages. What gives? If I buy the $30 custom package, will I be able to do what I want?

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

    This does not require a custom design upgrade and it’s not theme specific. Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

    What’s critical is:
    (1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
    (2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

    We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.

    A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus

    You have to create the menu and put into it the pages, categories, posts, whatever that you want in the menu. If the “posts” module does not show on the custom menu page, go to the screen options tab at upper right and activate the “posts” module. Your choices on what you add to a menu and how you arrange those things are wide open.
