Custom menues: how do they work ?
-
I did not find explanation for how they work. Where are they ?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
The support documentation entry and instructions for creating a custom menu are found here. This is the main link to all support documentation and all search results include not only links to documentation but also to relevant forum threads on the same topics.

To me a “custom menu” means a menu on the Admin Bar, but it seems that to WP it means a menu on the theme that supports it. Very complicated…
-
Any theme that has a top navigation menu supports custom menus at that location.
Any theme that does not have top navigation supports custom menus through the custom menu widget.

You once said this is one of your suggestions to the WP team, I could not imagine it was a menu to the themes. It would be more useful to add one to the Adm Bar because navigation is very cumbersome when you have multi-blogs.
-
It was a menu to the themes I meant, and that is I believe one of the best things they added since it allows us to better organize our stuff which makes it easier for visitors to find stuff they are looking for or are interested in.
The admin bar is simply a convenience for the site owner and the focus of any site has to be the visitor. I got along without an admin bar on my self-hosted site for years and never missed it and seldom use it now that it is a feature on the self-hosted software. In fact I seldom use the one here.
To me, the absolute most important thing is the visitor and allowing them to find what they are looking for and are interested in and that takes a well though out site.
Being able to customize an admin bar for myself? Not even on my list.

Certainly, vistors should be given utmost navigational service, but if I cant produce as much blogs as I would like to because it is difficult to navigate on the multiblog owner site, it is not much the visitor will see.

I didn’t clearly understand your last comment. One Visitor comes to your site to discover something, not to stumbling within your sites. However you can add links of all your blogs to your blog roll and ask (force) them to visit or can Post custom links to custom menu.
And
If you’ve a large number of blogs, let 1000, and could not find a specific blog in ‘Admin Bar’, then you can find that on http://wordpress.com/my-blogs

All of your thread, I’ve read, are about complaining about wordpress.com. You’ve some good Ideas and you think that those should be added to wordpress.com , then feel free to use Ideas forum. You know that we’re users like you and can’t do any changes to wordpress.com system.
