Adding a menu

Let's take a look at the menus management screen.

1. To get there, just navigate to Appearance | Menus:

2. To create your first menu, enter a title (for example, Main) where it says Menu Name, and then click on Create Menu.
3. After doing so, you can select individual pages from the panel on the left and click on the Add to Menu button to confirm:

4. If you want to add specific blog posts to the menu, you can do that too. Just click on the Posts heading in the panel and then pick the exact post you want to link to. To confirm, click on Add to Menu:

5. You can add some custom links to the menu as well. This can be done after clicking on the Custom Links heading on the left and then filling out the required link information. To confirm, click on Add to Menu:

6. Next, you can add some category links. Click on the Categories heading on the left and then proceed to click on the checkboxes next to the categories you want to include. Click on Add to Menu to confirm:

7. Finally, be sure to click on Save Menu in the upper-right corner. The following is what my new menu looks like now:

8. You can also drag items to the right to make them sub items of the item immediately above. For example, I'll drag one of my posts as a sub item under the Recipes category. Now, my menu looks like the following screenshot:

You can make more menus by clicking on the Create a new menu link at the top and repeating the process.

Now, you might ask: I created my new menu, but how do I make it show up on my site?
