  I have several “pages” set up for my blog, but none of the “sub” (child) pages show up when I hover my mouse over the “parent” page title from my homepage. How do I fix this?

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

  You have two choice. You can either edit the sub-pages and set the hierarchical relationship in the Page Attributes module by assigning sub-pages to “parent” pages or you can create a custom menu and include them.

  Staff have provided this support documentation entry for those who want to structure their blog like a website bu use of a custom menu. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
  What’s critical is to understand when creating a website structure is the differences betwwn pages and posts. We organize our posts by use of categories. There is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. However, we can create the appearance that we have done that by setting up a custom menu and displaying Categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation menu.

  Note that very few themes automatically provide links on parent pages to sub-pages and the Pilcrow theme is not one of them. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/category/dropdowns/

  Thanks Timethief. Turns out, using Menus was the answer to my problem, it was just a matter of figuring out how to make it work for me. :)
