Why my subpages do not appear on the main page?

  I have created a page and subpages attached to it. The subpages appear on my dashboard as if they are under the main page, but when I access the page on my blog I don’t see the subpages I’ve created (I mean on the main page so I can access them as a visitor).
  I did choose that page as the parent page, I have put the pages in order, I erased and rewrote them, but still I can not understand why they don’t appear!
  This is the main page: http://missesparker.wordpress.com/english-version/
  and these are the subpages that shoul appear there:

  http://missesparker.wordpress.com/english-version/rules-and-conditions/

  Thanks in advance for any idea of what might I have done wrong and sorry if this was already resolved.

  You’ve done nothing wrong: the themes only display parent pages in the header. If you want your child pages to show, you must add the Pages Widget. (Note that you can change the order of the widgets by dragging them.)

  Try putting the Pages widget in your sidebar; the header on that theme does not do drop-down menus on its tabs. I don’t know of any here that do, actually. But in most themes the Pages widget should show sub-pages.

  I mean they will then show in your sidebar.

  Edit the pages widget and select “show hierarchy.” Be aware though, that even with hierarchy selected, not all themes will differentiate between parent and child (indented). Some will just put the child pages below the parent pages.

  So there is a problem with the theme I use? Because a friend of mine just did what I told you and she managed to get the effect I wanted: http://shadowdeviant.wordpress.com/stories-ive-written-original-and-inspired-fiction/.
  Thanks for your help so far.

  It’s as we all said. Subpages won’t show in the header. How they show in the sidebar is theme-dependent. You’re using Digg 3: in Digg 3, the subpages will appear in the sidebar under their parent and indented (once you add the Pages Widget).
