  I’ve had a wee search for this but couldn’t find anything that helped (if this topic’s been talked about plenty I apologise).

  But basically I want to make a page called Facebook which will join the other pages in the menu, but redirect to my blog’s Facebook page (like you can do on Tumblr). Is there any way to do this?

  Thanks in advance for any help,
  Hamish

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

  WordPress.com is a blogging platform designed for original content blogging. I’s not an aggregation platform. However, you can create a custom menu and include a custom link in it to your Facebook page.

  1. You create a custom menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  2. You add the Parent pages you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.

  3. Then you add and drop and drag the subpages below the appropriate Parent pages, and when you have everything arranged in the menu that you want you save the menu.

  4. Go to the “theme location” module at upper left on the menu page. Select your custom menu name from the pulldown labeled “primary location.” Click the save button in that module.

  5. Refresh your browser so that it isn’t possibly pulling a cached page, and view see your new menu with Parent pages and dropdowns to sub-pages.

  Note: If you wish you can also include Categories and sub-categories of your own choice and custom links in your custom menu as well.
