  Hello, if you edit your menu…

  … you’ll probably find that your child page “blocks” are positioned directly under the About page block. You need to just drag them to the right a bit, so that when you drop them, there’s a little indent. If you’ve done it right, the words
  sub item
  will appear on the block :-)

  Do this for both, save the menu and it should be problem solved. Let me know!

  Hello, I’ve found a video tutorial on YouTube for you. It’s how to setup a custom menu on WordPress. Near the end, at about 2.20, they make one of the menu items a sub-item, and then show you the result:

  Hope this helps — let me know :-)

  Please note that while that specific video may apply for editing menus here on WordPress.COM, it was made for WordPress.ORG.

  WordPress.com is not the same as WordPress.org! Some of the differences will mean that most of the YouTube videos about using WordPress.org will not work on WordPress.com.

  It’s important to realize that nearly all of the video tutorials on YouTube are for WordPress.org. The most accurate place to find help with our WordPress.com platform is here:

  Here is the WordPress.com support documentation about custom menus: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
  And here is an article about custom menus on WordPress.com with more information:
