Creating Menus to Navigate Your Website

I thought the way WordPress handle menus was pretty efficient. It took some practice for me to get use to the process of how to create menus in WordPress. It was just a matter of, in the Dashboard, going to Appearance >> Menus and then messing around with options there (you can create menu items based on Posts and Categories in addition to Custom Links and other things).

Overall, I found the experience intuitive and easy enough. There really isn’t anything I would really change.

The only confusion I have is that the class reading lesson (Lesson 6) and class lecture showed some snippet of code and I was under the assumption of having to learn how to work with code to create the navigation menu (at least a copy and paste with reference material from WordPress.org). Again, just like with the create header and home page assignment (Exercise 5 based on Lesson 5), I may be getting ahead of myself here and perhaps it will covered in the upcoming class lecture(s).

I threw in a little CSS to the header navigation links (mostly the “hover” and “click” attribute) to personalize it a bit.
