[kimberlybarryd]

I have only been blogging for 2 weeks now. The Css and html is easy for me. Question is, Page nav. Its giving me a headache. It want to be able to organize the nav to include pages for sponsers. Got some advice before I go Blind from from reading?

Hey barry, are you referring to your sidebar or the navigation that is typically saved for internal site links like: "home", "about", "etc"?

Also, I moved this post to it's own question so it could get more attention that way :)

I don't play around with that stuff too much, I think you are better of focusing on your content to start.

Then just hand code it.

If I knew how to hand code it I wouldn't be asking for help

Can you explain a little bit more about what you mean as pages for sponsors? Do you want to be able to create an entire page for a sponsor or basically create one page to manage your sponsors?

In order to create a page, go into wp-admin and click write page. From there you can create as many pages as you want. As far as page navigation goes, you should have something either in your header or footer to list the pages. Are your pages currently showing up? If so, then I would guess the new page you create would also show up.

Creating the new pages is not a problem. It's getting the pages in the order i want thats the hard thing. I've done the number thing when creating the pages with no luck. What I Want is Home, Our Goal, services, Contact, Sponsor1, Sponser2. etc. When I create a new page I have no control over where it will be placed in the nav order. PHP is a mystery to me. All I have for page nav is this
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>

Thanks for clarifying. You actually do have control over that. When you edit a page, you will see some options in the right column. The last option should be "Page Order" which will allow you to reorder your pages Home=0, Out Goal = 1, etc. Let me know if this works for you!

Tried that. doesn't work. That was what I thought too but I tried it in ones, tens. and hundreds with no luck.

That is odd that it didn't work. I tried it on mine and was able to switch the "Ask Me" and "Sites I Like" pages.

Well you could hardcode it by removing the function and replacing it with


<a href="yourlink">Link Title</a>
<a href="yourlink">Link Title</a>


et.c Of course before you do that..look at your current navigation and look at the code. You will want to make sure to keep the current style.
