   I'm using the Sunspot theme which has the option of using a custom menu. I'd like to create a menu with several top-levels. "About" is one of the static top level tabs I want with sub menus of "Our Mission" and "About Edward Ellison". I have read through and performed the help guidelines in regards to creating custom menus, but am having no success. Please help!

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

   Create category and assign it to all the relevant posts.
   http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

   Create and assign sub-categories that are more specific to each post.

   When you do that then when the posts are published the software will automatically display them on the dynamic Category and sub-categories pages.

   Create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

   Add dynamic categories and sub-categories pages into custom menu as items and order them as required.
