Okay.. I went to Pages > Add New > and created a new page titled " Behind the Lens".

So now, I have basically 3 tabs up top, which are > HOME >BEHIND THE LENS > CATEGORIES

So now, that I know how to add tabs up top, I need to figure out how to make those tabs have a drop down and then that selection I choose on the drop down take you to another page =)

I found my menu tab, and just deleted all the menu tabs that showed anything including the "behind the lens". I then went back to Pages >add new page to see if I had the option for parent or child page, and I dont.

I also have created a test blog. I started from scratch and went to the page section added a new title,but once again I have no option to add parent or child. I am totally lost now. But hey, what did you expect, right ?!

Ok, I've studied your source code just now and can see that you are using a custom menu and you have the words "Menu Item" as the title of your "Behind the Lens" page.

<li id="menu-item-19" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom current-menu-item menu-item-19"><a href="http://mistyhillphotography.wordpress.com/behind-the-lens/">Menu Item</a>

The screen says, "Whoops! Whatever you are looking for cannot be found." because you have not written anything on that page yet.

So edit the page called Menu Item. Change its name to Behind the Lens and add your content. Save and you should be good to go.

You are using the Modularity theme so your tabs will be above your header (on the right).
Other themes may have tabs below the custom header, or not have a picture header at all. You need to choose a theme that looks the way you like. But Modularity is a really nice theme, even though the navigation is above the header (in my humble opinion)

"Page Attrubutes > Template and then It gives me 2 choices, either Full-Width,no sidebar OR Default Template."
Where you are looking at this, look above it, and you will see Page Attributes as the title, then Parent, and then a drop-down menu where when you have other pages you can choose one to be the parent of a new child page. Your About page (Behind the Lens) should be a parent page, so no worries that you don't have any other pages to choose there: you want it to be a Parent.

about Full-Width,no sidebar OR Default Template.
The theme in the little video does not have the choice to show it's sidebar or not on pages, but Modularity is a new theme, and it has this special feature: you can choose to show a sidebar on a page, or not.

It talks about adding new pages , and from what I understood in the video tutorial he has tabs up top. One of those being the 'About Me' section. Once you click on the about me tab it takes you to another page which of course then tells you all about the person. My problem I have run into is when I go to add new page, I dont have the option over the far left to choose under attrubutes like he does.

When I look to the far left, it shows Page Attrubutes > Template and then It gives me 2 choices, either Full-Width,no sidebar OR Default Template.
It doesnt give me the option of choosing main page or about me

I would like to have a HOME tab, and then next 'ABOUT ME' tab ( I'm actually going to call my about me tab, Behind the Lens )

Hope this makes sense.... As I explained above that I wanted tabs up under my header. Then for those tabs to have drop downs. Is the Page section how you would create these ? Can you help me out on this one?

I want a tab that it titled " About Me" or "Meet Me" and then once you click on it, it takes you to another page that tells all about ME.

Then I would like another Tab titled " Portfolio" that has a drop down menu that you can choose from , something like ... Newborn > Toddlers > Family > Weddings

Tab titled "Rates" and then that take you to another page.

Okay enough right ? LoL you get the picture... I am sure!

If you are worried that people will see your blog before you perfect it, make a "practice blog" to test how themes and other things work…Put up a few posts and add some categories, play with widgets and customizing menus in different ways.

You can generate text just to get an idea about how it would look:
http://www.lipsum.com/

Once you understand the difference between pages and posts, and how to use categories to organize your work, making a menu will be easier.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-categories/
(Don't be afraid to look around at the support pages—lots of good info there!)

Think about pages as being info that stays the same (an about page, info about your camera or lighting, or whatever is basic about your work). Then use your posts to display your photos, or to write about the shoots. Finally, use categories to let your readers find posts they would be interested in: nature, children, weddings, location, etc.
