  I am using the font folio them which promises drop down menus via the parent menu setup. I followed the instructions to a “t” and it will not work. Please help. I have followed the instructions via the page custom menu page for parent menus.

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

  Never mind. I changed back to my original theme of Reddle and it worked perfectly. Although, if you can help me with the problem anyway I would appreciate it. I prefer the font folio theme for this website.

  Thank you

  What is the URL for the blog wearing that theme please?

  (1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog and
  (2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we create do not automatically update.

  Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.

  By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

  We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-category-pages
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  We can also add other items into a custom menu like static Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages but as I said above no static Pages will ever automatically update.

  There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well.
