  Hi. If you are referring to http://sigbodies.wordpress.com , you only have one page: About.

  Please reconfirm the URL you are referring to.

  You appear to have added the posts in question to your menu manually. When I click on them, it says that they don’t exist anymore. Perhaps you deleted them or changed them to a future date?

  That theme Chaotic Soul does not have a horizontal top navigation menu or the custom menu feature. All you can do is create a custom menu widget.

  These are the themes that do have a horizontal top navigation menu the custom menu feature > http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#additional-information

  You probably couldn’t see them because they were set at private. I’ve changed that but problem remains. also, the menu doesn’t drop down which means my entire side bar will be filled.
  I am using the custom menu widget…but also beginning to think that as much as I like chaotic soul, I might have to switch to a theme that supports a horizontal top navigation menu. I’ll give it another couple of hours.
  your web site’s been very helpful getting me started on this journey timethief so a retrospective thanks.
  And hey, a fellow Montrealer! (though not for yonks in my case) just looking out the window at the snow falling in london UK and feeling nostalgic.

  Sub menu items have to be indented to the right below the parent items in the custom menu for them to become sub menu items. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
