For details on custom menus see this post of mine:

I have a slight problem with my menu. It's not exactly a 'problem' per se, but there is a way I prefer my menu to be. My menu has about four or five pages in it and two or three of them have sub pages and sub-sub pages. The problem is this. To access these sub pages and beyond, all it takes is moving the mouse over the parent pages and it expands automatically to the subpages for the mouse to select which one. I do not want it to do that. I want it the usual way. Where one has to click on these pages to find links to the subpages and beyond.

How do I set the menu to act like that?

Thank you

PS, pardon my site right now. It seems unprofessional because I'm really just testing wordpress out before making a real blog. Thank you.

Lastly if I may ask one more question. There are sidebar widgets to connect to your Facebook and twitter but no Instagram. Is there a way to set a sidebar for a URL so that when clicked will direct to my instagram?

And what is the CSS area in the theme menu? It says you can put your own coding in the area. What customs can I install in this area?

You cannot build or use your own custom theme built from scratch at WordPress.com or upload third party themes.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

The only themes we can use are those found here > Appearance > Themes http://wordpress.com/themes/
This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template and we cannot access the underlying files and edit templates or themes.

If you have CSS editing experience the upgrade will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but will not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to WordPress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes at WordPress.COM.

There is no FTP access to our free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install plugins.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

FTP access and plugins are only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

Please read this comparison so you are clear on the differences http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

P.S. There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/
