I was searching on google webmaster tools and found your site on google. Anyways Just a suggestion instead of using links why not create Pages and then use the 301 Redirect for this Page’s URL option and insert the destination URL in the post editing section - (Just below the Thesis meta keywords field) That way you can arrange your links since pages can be organized and reordered but not links. I am not so sure entirely on the SEO aspects of redirects but I dont think it will affect much. Hi Don Great Site , I like the fact there is a video in almost every tutorial.

You can order pages by changing the page order number when editing the page, but I don't know of a way to add the custom "off page" links. @Luke - thanks for sharing this! @Jonno - That's a great question; I've heard this a lot. This would be a great thing for any WordPress theme to have. WordPress is coming up with a new navigation menu architecture in WordPress 3.0 so we'll see if they address this... @Nick – yes that is a great plugin idea.

Sorry if this is off topic - I'd like to stop one of the parent level nav items from being linked to a page ... so that only it's sub-menus link to their respective pages. Any suggestions would be really appreciated - if this is too off topic, please let me know :-) Cheers Jonno Hi!

That just creates an alphabetical order in the nav menu. You have to use a custom function for it to be customizeable (is that a word). I posted a function (and explanation of how it works) here: http://www.invisibleinkwebdesigns.com/weblog/php/customising-your-category-link-order-in-wordpress/ Hope that helps those above who are still having problems...

At this point I'm at my wits end and would much rather just nuke the thesis menu alltogether and replace it with a bunch of HTML with the links I want. It seems that's impossible unless you know PHP, so I'm up the creek. It's astonishing to me that there's no manual override where I can just great a totally manual set of links (internal or external) for the menu! Any plugin writers out there?
