   Since a year or so I have become more interested in WP and also getting familiar with stuff like child themes and minor php editing issues (I am experienced at php but not so much at the way it is used within WP) . In the past I often have built non blogging sites with the same structure: a banner at the top, vertical menu at the left, and the main text at the right near the menu. Examples are http://www.overthebridge.nl/ and http://www.spelenverhuurlaarbeek.nl/ , I would like to convert such sites to wordpress and I would prefer a straightforward standard template. Now I have been using twenty-eleven for some newer sites but the page menu is horizontal just beneath the banner. I think I could either make a twenty eleven based child theme and use a left side bar with something like wp_list_pages(..and some parameters) or use another basic theme that already has built in the page menu structure as I explained. Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks on beforehand

   Hello,

   A possible simple solution would be to place a Custom Menu widget (Appearance > Widgets) in your sidebar. This would appear, by default, as a vertical list of links, rather than a horizontal menu bar.
