Firstly apologies, i'm pretty much convinced this has already been answered a dozen times, in fact i think i search/found a few results, but the reason im posting is i didn't understand them as they weren't "noob" freindly.
My website, http://margaretdrinkall.co.uk/MD/ , is currently fubar as wordpress wants to show all child pages all of the time, also it's misformatted itself to hell and back! The "TOP" menu should have
* about the books
* about the author
* author's blog
* future releases
* comments and questions
* get in touch
and underneath that, another menu should appear with sub-sections for each book "rotherham, sheffield, shaftesbury", when the user clicks on "ABOUT THE BOOKS", but as you can see, wordpress has minced these up.
clicking on each book should take the user to an "frontpage", "description" and "places to buy" menu ONLY after clicking on each book. But this isn't happening at all!
I've seen some people talking about wp_list_pages(1); and inserting something like that into the code, but where? I assumed the header.php file, but WHERE in that?
I tried a few places and managed to make a unformatted, bulleted list of "TOP" level pages appear ABOVE the banner image, but not to do anything else!
Any help is appreciated of course!
