Hi everyone, this is my first time to post here, so please bear with me.
I'm doing this project where the over-all look of the site will be like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/kwicky21/design-mockup.jpg
If you notice, there are menu items across the top of the page, and there are also links along the right side under the "links" heading.
My question is this: if I develop this site using Wordpress, will there be a way for me to have those menu items above as pages, and the links on the side as pages as well? The ones on the top are pretty static, but I want the user to be able to add links on the side as well. But those links need to be pointed to permanent pages as well; that is, having a URL of "http://www.domain.com/Personal-Injury", for instance, and not "http://www.domain.com/2009/05/01/Personal-Injury", etc.
You have 2 good options, one, create custom fields called "topbar" and "sidebar", and then on pages that display on top, set topbar to 1 and for the side, sidebar gets set to 1
You will use wp_list_pages to display the pages for both the top and side navigation: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages What I normally do is create all the pages of the website, then I use the "include" property to make the top nav only display certain pages (no matter what pages the client makes later):

Take a look here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Displaying_P ... lect_Query for more info.

Then I leave the side navigation to display all the pages ever created.
Thanks a million guys. I'll be sure to repay the favor one day.
