menu-pages-tags-categories–wp: creating a custom menu

Here’s a decent reference. The trick is to pick a theme that support custom menus feature

This is all working well. Misty Look allows custom menus and so do almost all of the others. Still a few to check.

With custom menus the problems of the reader trying to find specific entries decrease a lot. Can see why Sugar Mountain is moving to WordPress.

A blog basically allows the historical view that a pure web site does not. Envole is a cool website–but the stuff on biodynamics pales in comparison to Sugar Mountain. All you get on Envolve is one set piece, no sense of what they are trying and how that works out.

NOTE:
THis references states that you can drag a menu-item to the right so it indents; but that dooesn’t seem to work in either Misty or Quintus. It has a video we can look at.

But it also indicates only 30 themes do it.

Of those, the only one we’re using is CHOCO. So try that.

Looks like Bold Life does it also. And Bueno. But none of them seem to work.

What happens is that you can indent the subpages, but then they move back parallel when you SAVE the MENU.

Panos, who seems to have the best advice, doesn’t really suggest anything different. Perhaps there’s something one has to buy.

blogging tricks: menu

This is the trivia of the day.

Here’s a tutorial, with an example site that shows two levels of menus: BOTH WITH sub-items.

but you can do the same with category pulldowns–multi level

and tags–single level

which we’ve just done–so now we should have menu under blogging ticks under trivia

here’s a fancier forum showing how to put widgets on pages.
