  I am using the Publish theme and I have one menu on the side, but I would like one have a menu above everything, also. How do I do this?

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

  That is not possible with that theme. The Publish theme only has a menu available in the sidebar: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/publish/

  Perhaps consider trying another theme? You should be able to accomplish that layout with Truly Minimal: https://en.wordpress.com/themes/truly-minimal

  Thanks colorfultones! Do you think I could maintain the same look that my site currently has (masthead and widgets on the left) plus a top menu over it all in Truly Minimal?

  I also like to have a top menu in addition to my side menu. I have Axon theme.

  …wrong site ! I have anitamalta.com and anitasmalta.com which are a bit confusing. The last own is the premium one.

  @joshzaslow, it seems that the masthead in Truly Minimal is at the top, and may not be ideal to subvert. It probably could be accomplished with some CSS trickery, but not positive you would get best results.

  I would probably just stick with sidebar menu in Publish theme.

  @anitamalta, yes the Axon theme supports a Custom Menu, and you can also place a Custom Menu widget in your sidebar: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/custom-menu-widget/
