   My blog is http://www.badlandscaping.com
   And I am using WP 2.1. And so far it has been a joy to use, full of surprises- most times that I need to do something I discover the feature already built in. Nice. But the underlying code remains a mystery novel and I'm only about 1/3 of the way figuring out whodunnit.

   The right side of my blog has 'Pages, Archives, Categories'. This is good.

   But I am preparing a long list of articles called Reviews, and I would like to know how to do these two things, so I can decide which one works best for me:

   1. Add another element at the same level as 'Pages, Archives, Categories', called 'Reviews', and

   2. How to make 'sub-pages' in the Pages element, so I would have Reviews, then under it and indented I would have review 1, review 2, etc.

   All I really need is some insight into how these elements are constructed. I've looked through the code, but it's not evident [to me] how to make this happen.

   Thanks!

   Michael

   1. You'll have to decide if you are creating a Page for each review or a Post for each review. If you create a post for each review and assigns Review as a Category then the review posts will show under your Category section.

   If you then want that Category separated you need to look at the Template Tag, wp_list_categories.

   2. If you use a separate page for each review then when you create the Page you'll specifiy the Page Parent.
