Displaying Categories in a Drop-Down Menu.
-
Hi.
I set up a one column theme with 1 menu at the top that displays my pages. I am trying to figure out a way to display my categories from that same top menu either by:
1. Creating a drop down menu with al my categories so if someone clicks on a category from the drop down list, it will refer to all posts under that category, or…
2. Create a page with links to my categories.
Is it possible? I was thinking in case it isn’t, would it be even possible to create a page manually and add hyperlinks to my categories? But I don’t know how to find the url link for each category?!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Please read this first Post vs. Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/(1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog.
(2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create do not automatically update.Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.
By default the front page of the blog is the Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page and have your published posts display on another page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ but doing that does not change what follows.
Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
This guide will walk you through how to create category pages for your blog, to display groupings of similar posts on pages other than your front page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well.

Hi.
I stumbled on that post earlier, thanks though. I kinda managed to figure it out after a bit of tinkering :)
Happy holidays.
