   What it does?
   Add a navigation bar under template header image. The navigation bar has a tab that link to blog URL and auto add WordPress ‘pages’ link tabs.

   This looks handy for default users. If a guy has more pages than are going to be linked from the hnav - what happens then ?

   @Root: I will write a navigation bar plugin then ;)

   What would really be cool would be a navbar manager plugin with:

   - the three relevant template tags for header nav, sidebar nav, footer nav
   - an admin menu to add resources (e.g. pages, cats, links...) to the nav menus, including changing their order (independant from a nav menu to another), their navbar title (idem), and sub menus

   This is a great top nav hack. But, if you have pages with sub-pages underneath, it breaks all over the place.

   But I emailed the author for a fix for this, and he sent me this code, which only shows the 1st level page titles.

   Find this code:

   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>

   Then replace it with:

   <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li='); ?>

   The depth is to set how many level of pages to be displayed in the
   list. Enjoy.

   With all due respect to the author - you could have found that info by reading about the relevant template tag in the Codex:

   There is something much more powerful when it comes to creating a nav bar:

   http://www.semiologic.com/projects/sem-theme/

   Follow these simple steps:

   1. Copy the config.php file from one of the bundled themes and drop it -- edited as necessary -- into your theme's directory.

   2. Activate the Semiologic CMS plugin

   3. Call sem_header_nav() and sem_footer_nav() in your template.

   These will populate your nav bars with the best match between:

   - internal pages
   - categories
   - arbitrary links

   e.g.:

   $sem_header_nav['Home'] = get_settings('home');
   $sem_header_nav['Blog'] = 'blog';
   $sem_header_nav['Gallery'] = 'gallery';
   $sem_header_nav['Links'] = 'links';
   $sem_header_nav['About'] = 'about';
   $sem_header_nav['Contact'] = 'contact';
   $sem_header_nav['Somewhere'] = 'http://wherever.com';

   and calling sem_header_nav populates your header nav as appropriate.
