  Hi there,

  It looks like you might have already figured this out as I see several pages in your menu. However, if you would like to add more, you can do so following the instructions here:

  Menus

  Give that a try and let me know if you run into any trouble!

  Hi Jeremey,

  Adding pages to my menu isnt the problem. What I am trying to do is figure out how to put content onto the menu pages. When I go to dashboard > pages – this section doesn’t match up with whats on the menu. I figured that I might link my “pages” (in the dashboard) with the pages in the menu. How can I bring the two together or is there just an easy way to put content onto the pages (in the menu).

  Hi,

  The pages in your menu seem to match up pretty closely with the pages on your site as shown here:

  Site pages – https://letterboyink.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page

  Menu – https://cloudup.com/cNUcXftdWxd

  The only page on your site that isn’t reflected in your menu is titled “Jared Thomas”.

  When a page is added to your menu, it simply creates a link to that actual page. In order to add content, you’ll need to edit the actual page on your site, which can be accomplished through the instructions here:

  Create a Page

  So, for example, if you add content to the Humanitarian page here, it will appear when someone clicks the “Humanitarian” item in your menu:

  https://letterboyink.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=105&action=edit

  Does that help to answer your question?

  Might you be able to give me a link on how to use the categories option in the “Edit Menu” tab? Also let me know if there is something I can fill out for your helpfulness.

  Hi!

  Wonderful – I’m glad that helped! Regarding the “Categories” option in the Edit Menu page, you can read more about that here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  Basically, it allows you to create custom pages based on the categories of your posts.

  Also let me know if there is something I can fill out for your helpfulness.

  We always love feedback. You should get a survey that you can fill out if you would like. I’m just glad we got this fixed up for you!
