WordPress.com theme supports only 1 menu?
-
After researching on past wordpress forums i found out keeping Menu was a good option for keeping our Categories, tags, specific posts, etc. But almost all WordPress theme only support 1 Menu. There is nothing we can possibly do with only 1 Menu. It says, “Your theme supports 1 menu. Select which menu you would like to use.” That means I Can only use 1 menu.
Is there any way of using more Menu? I want more Menus.
And I wonder why is there only one Menu in almost all WordPress themes.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

A menu is the whole thing across the top of the site and it can literally have hundreds of menu items in it. Take a look here and you will see across the top:
about, contact me, archives, blog, home, online services and this is a test page.
All of those items together make up a “menu” and each one of the individual items is a “menu item”.

Thanks a lot for your Reply thesacredpath :)
I now Understand it and the problem is solved.
I got another problem here http://enwil.wordpress.com/latest-posts/
There I’ve posted some Quotes as well. Since there are many quotes we have to scroll down a lot to see next post.
What I wanted to do was, only to show some quotes and then keep a button like See More or Read More and only after clicking it the whole quotes would show up.
For it I went to Settings –> Reading and then in
For each article in a feed, show Full Text / Summary
I clicked on both and checked but Both Didn’t work. Whole quote shows up even if I click on Full Text and in Summary.
How to fix it? -
To complete TSP’s original reply:
• A menu is a group of clickable tabs; each tab is a menu item. In the blog linked to your username, “About” is a menu item; “Latest posts” is a menu item; those two together, along with other tabs you can add next to them, are your top nav menu (= group of tabs in the header area).
• Supports one menu means one top nav menu. You can create and display as many custom menus as you like: one in the header area, the rest in your sidebar (by adding Custom menu widgets).
• Menu items can include sub-items. Sub-items will appear as dropdowns in your top nav menu, as indented lists in your sidebar menu(s). -
As for your new question, you need to use the read-more button:

The Full Text or Summary options in the Settings are for your RSS feed, not your actual blog page. -
I’m still unable figure this out.
I have created Tabs for Menu and try to put Categories or Post in that Menu Tab but it still won’t show up when I preview (after saving and everything). It will only show the Primary Menu that I chose in the Theme Location.
I’m using Chateau.
Thanks,

Are you putting all the items into the one single custom menu?
Also on Categories, they will not show up in the top navigation till after they have had at least one published post assigned to them otherwise when someone clicked on the category name there would be an error since wordpress would not have anything to show. See the following screenshot of a test menu I set up. Note it has all the pages and also categories added to that single menu. That single menu is then selected from the primary menu pulldown in the theme location module.
