   I just got started using WP and love it except I am having problems. Sounding like a total newb here but I want to find out how do I add a new menu item on my navigation bar using this theme. I am trying to have about 5 links go to different categories on my site, but each tutorial I read is not directing me towards the specific answer.

   I click into the appearance -->editor then target the page template (page.php) but it does not seem I can ever find the 'about' link code to copy and paste for a new window. Am I right so far or can someone guide me a little bit with an answer or towards a good tutorial?

   Thanks

   @Cavallo321: I believe some people use plugins, but Devin at WordPress Theming has written a more detailed post about modifying the menu in Thematic.

   Each time you add a page in wordpress, it's link is added to the menu.
   I use the "Exclude Pages from Navigation widget to exclude pages from the menu that I dont want to show.

   To include a link to a "page" that wp doesnt consider a page (like posts and archives) I make a wp page anyway and then use the "page links to" widget to link the page to where I want it to go.

   Haven't tested this yet with Thematic, but for child themes of 2010 I've been using this code:

   // Define New Menu
   
   function themenav($menu, $args) {
   
     $args['show_home'] = true;
     $args['exclude'] = '4';
     $args['echo'] = false;
     $args['depth'] = 1;
     remove_filter('wp_page_menu','themenav',10,2);
     $menu = wp_page_menu($args);
   
     $bloglink = '<li><a href="http://www.wordpresstheming.com">Visit my Site</a></li>';
     $menu = str_replace( '</ul></div>', $bloglink . '</ul></div>', $menu ); 
   
     return $menu;
   }
   
   add_filter('wp_page_menu','themenav',10,2);

   Put all the ids you want to exclude in "exclude arguments" and then add whatever links you wish to add at the end of menu in the $bloglink variable (which you can change).
