 * I am using the Techland theme and want to change the navigation bar menu buttons
   so that they link to categories instead of static pages. Is this possible and
   if so how do I change it to do this please?
 * Many Thanks

 * Look for <? wp_list_categories(‘sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’); ?>
    wp_list_pages
   in your header.php and change it to wp_list_categories
 * Hope that helps!

 * That’s awesome thanks! I guess there isn’t a way to have a combination of links
   to static pages and categories on the menu bar is there? i.e. what if I wanted
   the majority of the menu buttons to link to static pages but just one of the 
   menu buttons to link to a category instead. Is this possible at all?

 * If it’s just one, I’d suggest coding it the old-fashioned way. Lets say you hay
   your menu in a div with id=”menu”. Your code would be something along the lines
   of:
 *     ```
       <div id="menu>
       <ul>
       <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&amp;title_li=';?>
       </ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * you could just add the category link like
 *     ```
       <li><a href="yoursite.com/category">Category</a></li>
       ```
   
 * So it would look something like this:
 *     ```
       <div id="menu>
       <ul>
       <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&amp;title_li=';?>
       <li><a href="yoursite.com/category">Category</a></li>
       </ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * The other option is to just use `<?php wp_list_categories(sort_column=menu_order&
   amp;title_li=&amp;exclude=X,Y,Z'): ?>` Where you exclude every cat except for
   the one(s) you want to show.
