    Hello!
    I want to create new widget area in my header.
    I’m using basic theme – Twenty Ten 1.2 by WordPress.
    My aim is to create a dropdown menu in header that is modified by JQuery Mega Menu plugin.
    I am pretty new to WP world but I know something in CSS/HTML.
    I found in Codex “widgetizing article but I am not sure – is this what I am looking for? 😀

    Please help 🙂

    that article is a good starting point.

    ‘in my header’ is not a very precise location for a widget …

    see here for a slightly different example:

    btw: twenty ten will be overwritten with your next upgrade. consider http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    I didn’t knew about overwriting with updates 🙂 Thanks!

    By header I mean I want to place a menu horizontally, 50px from top, next to the logo on the left (not under a picture like it is after WP installation).
    As far as I know, to modify menu by a widget it need to be placed in widget area – that is why I want to create it there to apply JQuery mega menu.
    Am I right/clear to you? 🙂

    [edit]
    I thought about using created widgetarea in a sidebar, placing there div and position it relatively eg. top-150;, left-400px;.
    My question: how does widget area behave? is it similar to div or what?:P

    Sorry for any language mistakes.
