    How do I increase the size of the menu bar so that more page names show up? http://highlifecredit.com

    If I add a new page Radio Podcast and Blog drop off from site. Is there a way to have 2 rows of page names across the top?

    you need to change the style of the menu bar, possibly making the text smaller, but probably end up using drop-downs for some of the items as sooner or later you have to stop adding items across one line of the menu.

    PS websites that automatically start playing music when the page loads are annoying… I’m at work and don’t need your music playing when I didn’t ask it to. 😉

    You can change the styling, but as @moodles suggested, drop downs are good

    You can make custom menus from the Appearance->menus tab, if your theme supports it, which most should any more….

    Make a custom menu, find ways to group things for dropdowns, etc

    Thank you Voodoo and Moodles.

    Voodoo – I went to Appearance->menus tab and it says: The current theme does not natively support menus, but you can use the “Custom Menu” widget to add any menus you create here to the theme’s sidebar.

    I did create a new menu. But I don’t see an option to change the size of the text or to change anything. Then when I go to Widgets, it only allows me to put this new menu on the sidebar not on the bar that goes across the top of the page.

    As you can see, I don’t know much about this and need more hand holding. sorry.

    Moodles – How do I change the style of the menu bar? I am not opposed to making the text smaller or possibly wrapping the text(?). But I do not know how to change the style.

    On the other hand, is there a way to make the menu bar have 2 rows of page names?

    Thank you both for your help! I will be checking back soon to see if you have replied.

    If you don’t know much about CSS styling the menu is going to be a big step. You might start here:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Horizontal_Menus

    There are links at the bottom of that page to others that have more information.

    But it does sound as if you will need a more complex menu organization than just one row of links, in other words, a second drop-down. You can do this easily using WP’s custom menu

    Here’s an article on styling the menus
