   I keep trying to fix the menu for my blog, but all I seem to be able to get are two categories listed on the black bar of my header. I see other blogs with the same theme & have no idea how they got them there. Do I have to upgrade?

   Widgets seem to be fine, except I cannot get tags to post, and I don't know what "meta" means or does. Could someone help me please get my page in order?

   I have a gravatar, but it is not shown on the site - only the patchwork quilt thing, and I have checked the place where you upload them, and mine is there.

   I'm new to this. Please be patient with me.

   Thank you

   The blog I need help with is zenandtheartoflivingwithmigrainedisease.wordpress.com.

   (1) If you don't create a custom menu, note that Pages will automatically appear in the menu bar when you publish them http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
   If you want to create a custom menu and include custom links and/or categories rather than just pages in it see > Using WordPress.com to Create a Website >
   http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
   http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
   There are many common errors, misunderstanding and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/

   Widgets seem to be fine, except I cannot get tags to post, and I don't know what "meta" means or does.

   (2) The documentation for all widgets is available by clicking this link > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topic/widgets-sidebars/ there you can click through to locate specifics on any individual widget like this one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/meta-widget/

   (3) Gravatars are cached images and take a few days to appear. They usually appear first here in the forums. For gravatar support post here if yours does not appear in a few days > http://en.gravatar.com/site/contact-us/

   (4) "I cannot get tags to post"
   Tags are assigned to posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/
   Until you actually publish posts with tags assigned to them the Tag Cloud widget will not have any data to display. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/tag-cloud-widget/ The same is also true of Categories and the categories widget.
