  hi. the tabs on my site have sub-pages. however, i wanted to rearrange the order so that the drop-downs can be read, because, as it is, the drop-downs are half off the page & can’t really be read. i created new menus, but when i do, i either have to publish all the pages individually so that it looks like madness, or, publish the menu & then no sub-page drop-downs. i have been trying to figure this out for days, & anytime i ask a question, i never get an answer. i just want to either be able to rearrange the order of my tabs/parent pages so that the sub-pages/drop-downs can be read, OR to just move the whole lot, as is, just over to the left so that the menu on the right can be read. PLEASE HELP!!!!! thanks so much. please visit my site so that you can understand what i mean. thanks again to anyone that can actually help!

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

  I have located your blog here > http://ogjerseygirl.wordpress.com/

  1. You create a custom menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  2. You add the Parent pages you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.

  3. Then you add and drop and drag the sub-pages below the appropriate Parent pages, and when you have everything arranged in the menu that you want you save the menu.

  4. Go to the “theme location” module at upper left on the menu page. Select your custom menu name from the pulldown labeled “primary location.” Click the save button in that module.

  5. Refresh your browser so that it isn’t possibly pulling a cached page, and view see your new menu with Parent pages and dropdowns to sub-pages.
