   I need help with the menu function. I followed - word for word - the information found here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-category-pages but the instructions DO NOT WORK. I still can get my blogs to show up when I click on the appropriate menu button on the top of the page, and I tried in both Firefox and Chrome, and on two computers. Please advise me what I am doing wrong. I want my categories to appear in the appropriate menu.

   Thanks in advance.

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

   Thanks. Now the problem is that I am told that my 'theme' only allows for one of these pages to work. I have tried several other themes, and all have the same issue. Could this be that I have a 'free' account? I use the 'Twenty Ten' theme, which I like and other sites I have seen use something that looks identical, but don't seem to have my issue.

   If a signed up for the basic paid account option, would this issue then be resolved? If not, I would definitely not pay for an account.

   You're welcome.
   But there's no issue: read my post more carefully please, in particular the section "I want to add several menus but my theme says it supports only one".

   OKay justpi - go to Steve Munro's website and see the menus that all work and it has a similar type of theme as I do. Why can't I do exactly the same thing? Your article doesn't explain this - it says I can have ONE menu with everything in it - I don't want that - I want to have several menus across the top that open up. As the site above is obviously a paid site, is that the difference? Or is it the theme or what?

   Sorry, my article explains everything - you simply haven't come to terms with the terminology yet. In wordpress jargon, the site you linked to has ONE menu, with several top level MENU ITEMS, each one with a DROPDOWN to other menu items.

   Geez, why can't WordPress just use plain English.

   Thanks for the attempt to help - but until I learn how to read "WordPress" I will be helpless.

   Okay - I just tried again - and got it to work, finally. Thanks for your assistance. It is much appreciated.
