  I’ve just started building my blog. I’m bit confused about how I will be able to incorporate the content in the menus as static pages. Any help would be appreciated.

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

  You can create a custom menu at ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Menus’ in your blog’s dashboard. Please take a look at this guide to learn more about Custom Menus: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus

  You have added a number of page names to your navigation menu, but they do not link to pages. For example “People” brings up http://people/ and results in “Server not found.”

  Delete your custom menu first. Then you need to publish the page called “People.” When you do that, you’ll see that “People” is automatically added to your menu. Publish the other pages you have listed and set them as child pages. They will also appear automatically in your menu.

  If you have more complicated things to add to your pages, such as links to post categories, or links to another site, then you’ll want to look at making a custom menu.

  Here is a good article about custom menus:

  One reason you might want to make a custom menu right now is if you want that “People” page to be a non-linking tag where readers can only click on the names in the sub-menu:
  In that article, scroll down to this section:

  c. Submenu with non-linking top level tab
  A tab that’s just a heading for a submenu, not a link, is created in the Links module: type anything after “http://”, type the name in the Label field, click Add to Menu; once it’s added to the menu, click the arrow to open it, delete everything in the URL field, click Save Menu.
  Note: In some theme this produces a differently looking tab; in that case replace the content of the URL field with a # instead of deleting everything.
