Tabs for your Blog!
-
So, not all themes have the capability of tabs? Because I have published pages that appear in my sidebar, but no tabs, which is what I would prefer. I just tried what timethief suggested, but when I added the pages widget to the sidebar and saved the changes, the *only* thing in my sidebar was the Pages links.
My blog is at: http://hearmeintheharmony.wordpress.com/

That is correct. Top tabbed navigation is theme dependent.
What shows in the sidebar before you actually add anything to it is just a sample default set. Once you add a widget, the default set will disappear. Simply drag the widgets you want to appear in your sidebar up from the available widgets pane to the sidebar pane and arrange them the way you wish. The blogroll widget is actually called “links” which can lead to confusion.

Ok, that much I get (and thanks for clearing up the links/blogroll confusion), but my real question was whether my pages could be tabs in the theme I originally chose (Toni). I messed around with some other themes, and it looks like some use tabs and some don’t. I switched to one that does have tabs, but now I have another problem.
When I click on my categories at the end of my posts, I expected to get a list of my posts that are tagged with that category. Instead, I get “blogs related to” the category I clicked on. Is that what’s supposed to happen?
Sorry for all the questions; I imported from Blogger and am trying to get the kinks worked out before I send an updated link to my readers.

The categories and tags in the post meta data lead to the global wordpress tags page. The categories in your sidebar lead to your blog categories (local). This is a subject for much debate here in the forums and not everyone is happy about it, but there is little we can do about it.
Adding tabbed navigation to a theme I believe would require editing the underlying template files which is not allowed here at wordpress.com.

Hmmm, I just applied Toni to my test blog, and the categories listed in the posts do not go to the global tags pages, but are local. Interesting indeed. I thought all themes went global from the categories in the post metadata.
