Making progress! Okay, so in the main navigation menu bar you have the following now:

  • Hamburg 1943
  • Motto
  • Kaleidoskop
  • Links
  • Kontakt
  • Lyrik

Are those the topics that you want there? If not, could you write out which topics you want there, in the order you want them to show? And then we'll work out what goes beneath those topics (second level, third level, etc).

I took it as an example. I took all the "custom" away, but called it "category". It's now the second night without any sleep. Here it is now 4.20 at night. I thank you for your support and really nice words, which made me go on.
Thanks a lot and good night, jenia
sincerely, Doris

. Kontakt
. Links
. Kaleidoskop
. . Kreislauf des Lebens
. . . Schnappschuss
. . . Winter
. . . . Winter
. . . . Sunny wintertime
. . . . Lichtblicke

... etcetera. So it looks like you have some posts/categories in there several time, so need to remove those by clicking the down error to expand an item, then clicking "Remove".

For example, I see that you had a menu item (what you refer to as "category") "Hamburg 1943". I made it a first-level menu item so that it now appears in your navigation bar (I think that's what you refer to as "headline"). Like this: http://cl.ly/image/1F3x2B0s2C1P So, if I understand correctly, you want some other/more items like "Hamburg 1943" to appear on that line? If you could give me more details, I'll be glad to assists.

I think you've done a terrific job up to this point, by the way, generational differences notwithstanding :) So if you want to give it another try, I'll be happy to help whenever you are ready, and if not, then safe cyber-travels on the internet!

I now took the customs away, because there was always:"did not find this page".I have the feeling, that your and my generation are talking completely different languages. I am 75 years old, never had any instructions for computer science. I learned that bit I can by myself. Whatever you are writing sounds for me like at least Chinean or Kisuaheli. Someone of us comes from a different star.
There is no possibility for me to understand you. Sorry.

Let me have another look, I'm sure we can help you out. Could you write out in a list of what you want your menu items and sub-items to be? Then we'll work together to create a custom menu accordingly.

To delete an item from the menu, click on the arrow to open the item, and then click the red "Remove" link. When you're done, click the blue "Save Menu" link.

You have not enabled it though. Select it under Primary Navigation and click on Save to make it live on your site.

I am not sure, if I am able to ask correctly, what I want to do. Could you please go to my hp "New ACD Gazette". Here I managed to make categories to the head with a drop down menu. I am trying since days to do the same in this site "Lyrik-Fotos-Finland.
