   I use the Bueno theme and I am trying to figure out how to create a menu in the right-hand column in which I can link to each specific article on my blog by title.
   Right now my "archives" are automatically set just to show the month, as opposed to individual entry titles. When I create a custom menu, it automatically places a giant, block-letter menu below my main title, as opposed to allowing me to create a menu in the right column. Does anyone know how to add or replace a menu in the right column?
   Thanks!!

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

   This is normal behavior for the theme. The right had column is the sidebar and what you can do in there is use widgets. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topic/widgets-sidebars/

   Bueno has a special featured posts Featured Posts widget that display your five most recent posts with the tag of your choice in the sidebar. http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/ See here for more:

   If you wish every title of EVERY published post to be displayed by the archives then you have to create a static page and enter the Archives shortcode on that page and include it in your custom menu and not in your sidebar.

   Awesome -- going with the featured posts idea for simplicity's sake. Thank you!
