a list of pages. In this case, you will have options to alter the display of these menus
from the theme options.

Menus. Give your menu a name and build it up using the available widgets. You can
add a variety of items including pages, categories, custom links.

To extend the available Menu, click the screen options tab at the very top
of the screen and configure your options.
Once you have built and saved your menu, simply select the theme location using the
widget on the left. Under Header Menu, select your custom menu from the
