Putting a menu in header
-
Hi I am using Plane and would like to put the menu links such as About, Recipes, blog posts erc across the top in the header. The Plane demo pages shows these as “a parent page” “full width page” “readability” etc across the very top of the page in the dark navy part. I can’t find an option to allow me to add my own next to where it displays “Home” on my blog. The blog I am using is toocoolforglutenblog Thank you
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
There are many misunderstandings and misconceptions when it comes to custom menus. I suggest you read these two posts I link to below.

http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/Technically you can’t post to more than one page on any blog but do read on. Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/If you want to have pages that do update then they must be dynamic category pages (and sub-category pages) that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category and/or sub-category.
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 and sub-categories pages into the custom menu, and order them as you wish.
First you add categories to Posts.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/Then you create a custom menu.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/And you add the dynamic category pages into it
