  I want to create tabs across that will display across the top of my blog. Do I need to upgrade to do that?

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

  Are you thinking of a custom menu along the lines of what is talked about here:

  Menus

  Take a look through that page and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.

  Yes, that is exactly what I’d like to create. It looks like my theme doesn’t support that type of menu, which is a shame b/c I really like my theme. Is there any way to add that capability through a widget or something?

  … could I create that type of menu by using CSS?

  … or if I purchase the premium membership?

  The more I look at other themes, the more I want to keep mine, which is Dawn to Dusk. Is it possible to add another menu option to that theme?

  I just upgraded, but don’t see how it differs from the basic membership. If the upgrade doesn’t provide a way to create tabs across the top, I’ll cancel the upgrade and return to basic membership.

  I’m afraid that isn’t possible with Custom Design. If you want a horizontal navigation menu, you’ll have to try another theme.

  I can refund your Premium Upgrade if you like. However, you might take a look at what comes with Premium and make sure that you don’t want it.

  WordPress.com Premium includes:

  • A Free Domain
  • Custom Design
  • VideoPress
  • Space Upgrade
  • Ad-Free

  For more info, you can refer to this page: http://store.wordpress.com/premium-upgrades/pro-bundle/

  Please let me know if you have further questions.

  I did get a refund, thanks. At the moment my blog’s template provides what I need with the exception of limited menu options. I specifically want to create the horizontal navigation menu. It looks like the Promenade template might be an option. Is that the case? Is it easy to create on that template?

  I like Promenade a lot. You might use the “preview” function on the theme selector.

  I tried the preview function. It seemed like that template has a lot more flexibility, although it wasn’t clear to me how to create the horizontal navigation menu. Will you point me in the right direction. If it’s a straight-forward and simple process, I’ll make the purchase.

  Hi there!

  When you visit the preview of the Promenade theme, your menu ‘Site Navigation’ will appear in the menu space under the title. Are you not seeing this?

  

  You can edit this and your other menus through Appearance > Menus.

  Does that clarify things? Let me know if you have questions.
