  I’d like to have links similar to the ones near the top of this site, http://inharshlight.com/ (About, Art, Film, etc.). We use the same theme (Funki) but I haven’t been able to figure out how to accomplish this yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

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

  Start by reading this please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  You can create a custom menu and include exactly what you want in it while excluding what you don’t want from it.

  Among the most common misconceptions is that bloggers fail to understand is
  (1) there is only one page we can post to in any blog and
  (2) the static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ they create do not automatically update.

  Only the dynamic pages like Categories, Tags and Archives created by the software when we publish a post we that we have assigned Categories and Tags too will update automatically update with posts.

  By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. 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.

  We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.
