menu and category
-
Okay- I’ve read lots of training and links- and for some crazy reason, I can’t seem to get my words to show up in the menu along the bottom of my header.
I would like to have 4 pages (or menu items), in addition to my main page. Do I understand this correctly- that these “pages” can house categories to store my posts that will have already appeared on my main page? So by using the navigation menu- I won’t have to use categories in the sidebar?
So if I have a post on my main page about puppies and categorize it with the name puppies- and then place it under the page in the menu entitled puppies- does all that work out?
Thanks very much.

Thank you for your reply. I think I’m confused. I have been to the page you have suggested (a few times actually:) Here is what is in my imagination:
I will have four “pages,” which will appear in my menu bar under my header. From there visitors will be able to navigate to see posts of a specific type which I have there. For instance, in my menu you might find Labrador, Doberman, Poodle- I would regularly post on these subjects and a person could navigate to read only Poodle articles by clicking on “Poodle” in my menu bar. I would also like to have a different look on that page (header, background etc.)When I went to menu- I created four menus, (even though the page says my theme has one), thinking that I could then create categories or pages to be associated with each and that by doing this, I would see the words in my menu bar under my header. From there, I can’t seem to be a way to create a new category, there is a default ‘uncategorized.’ I have read about menus, pages, and the difference between posts and pages, but I’m still confused.
When I go to “pages” it looks like I can make a title- but then there is a text box and a publish button.
Appreciate any help! -
a) You’re confusing the top nav menu (the whole set of tabs) with the menu items (each tab).
b) You can’t create a menu consisting of non-existent items: first you publish posts and assign them to the right categories, or at least create the categories in Posts>Categories, then you create the menu (Appearance>Menus: create a menu, title it, select the categories from the Categories module, add them to the menu, save menu, select it from the pulldown in the Theme Locations module, save). -

I have an issue with I’m creating the “Main Menu” in the Menus. No matter how I added the ‘categories’ that I want to show in “Main Menu’ , its taking all the ‘categories’ . I have 20 ‘categories’ and its cluttered all the way in the “Main Menu”. Even I select nothing its still taking all the categories.
Any one has this issue?
