    I want to create menu as: Home, Registration
    Under Home, I want: Welcome, Contact, Staff, Location
    Under Registration, I want: 2011 Summer Registration
    It’s just that simple for now
    I checked/unchecked “Automatically Add New Top Level Pages”

    What’s wrong with this?

    Thank you very much

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

    You need to follow these steps I post below and replace the Pages navigation you have at the top of your blog with a custom menu.

    Pages

    1. You create a custom menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

    2. You add the Parent pages you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.

    3. Then you add and drop and drag the subpages below the appropriate Parent pages, and when you have everything arranged in the menu that you want you save the menu.

    4. Go to the “theme location” module at upper left on the menu page. Select your custom menu name from the pulldown labeled “primary location.” Click the save button in that module.

    5. Refresh your browser so that it isn’t possibly pulling a cached page, and view see your new menu with Parent pages and dropdowns to sub-pages.

    Thank you so much for your help.

    I am now able to create a menu halfly, please see my blog:
    http://3rreadingclub.wordpress.com/,

    You will see only Welcome.

    This is incorrect. Another one called Registration is missing

    Why?

    In Dashboard: I created 2 menus: Welcome and Registration,

    In Menu (in Dashboard), it says: Your theme supports 1 menu

    How do I put up more than 1 menu?

    Thank you very much

    I like to use Misty theme, I tried other themes, currently I am working on Under the Influence theme, I am not really quite satisfied with this theme but just leave it there for now.

    If with your help I can fix the two menu problems, I am gonna switch back to misty.

    Thanks again for your kind help.

    Your problem is the jargon: the (top nav) menu is the whole strip below your header image, not each individual tab.

    Most themes support one top nav menu, i.e. one group of tabs. You create one menu only, and name it as you please (for instance “My header menu”). You add all the pages or other items you want, rearrange them and/or create dropdowns, save the menu, select it from the pulldown in the Theme Locations module, click Save.
