Hi Guys,

I am trying in vain to set up a wordpress site. Am very non-techie, but was told it's fairly simple so I thought I'd give it a go and am doing relatively well so far.

Now I'm stuck :(

I have managed to get the navigation menu saying what I want it to, but I don't know how to get the menu headings to link/point to the pages I have written in wordpress.

This is the code I have:

<!-- Begin Navigation -->
<div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
<li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/" title="Return to the the frontpage">home</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="Link title">about</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="Link title">locations</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="Link title">upcoming events</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="Link title">member spotlight</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="Link title">articles</a></li>
<li><a href="#" title="Link title">contact</a></li>


For example I when people click the about page, I want them to see: http://www.brainstormnetworking.com/about-2/

Does anyone have any ideas what I need to do to the code to get it to link to the pages I want?

Any help appreciated

:D
 
Forgive me if I'm missing the point but replacing # with the target url will do that?

Will it? You see thats how non-techie I am :D Didn't know that.

well I'm not very techy but I knew that :)

I think it's ok to just use the /filename.etc
you dont have to use the whole address - just make sure the /is included.

the link title bit is just for accessibility - just add a relevant title, like "about us" or whatever?

<li><a href="/about-2/" title="about_us">about</a></li>

You'll need to apply an image to the header file. It would be easier if you had picked a template with an image already included - you could just edit the image then.

Anyway, why make it easy?

You'll need help to edit the header file I'm afraid. At this point I'll do a rain check :)
