    I am setting up a simple blog with wordpress.com, using the “day dream theme” I see that I can create parent pages to organize the different pages. However, I was expecting that when I make a page a “child page” of a parent page, visitors would have a dropdown menu type of navigation. Am I misunderstanding the parent page concept? When I make a page a child page, I dont even see how visitors will be able to view that page.

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

    The theme you chose does not have this feature coded into the template underlying the theme. Therefore if you want this feature you will have to switch themes. Currently, the Bueno, Enterprise, iNove, Inuit Types, Monochrome, Neutra, Sandbox 1.6.1, Structure, Twenty Ten, Titan and Vostok themes are the only ones that have dropdowns to child pages from parent pages in the top horizontal menu.

    If you wish to stay with the theme you have then the way to provide access to child pages is to place a pages widget in your sidebar. See > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/pages-widget/
