  Hi There!

  I appreciate all your help!

  Last weekend at this link you told me I could customize ‘categories’ and added it to my custom menu but you didn’t tell me how:

  “Categories can also be added to the top navigation and you can do it as a dropdown. Each time you create a new category you will have to manually add it to the custom menu. It is not automatic. One suggestion is that if the number of categories climbs significantly, you may have to rethink having them all in the top navigation otherwise navigation might become cumbersome for your visitors.”

  Can you tell me the code for this?

  Thanks.

  Audrey

  This doesn’t require coding and is not a CSS editing issue. 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 custom links in your custom menu as well.
