 * Hi chaps,
 * I’m looking to use WP 2.7 for our company site. We have the design skills (well,
   some might say) and the php skills, but so far we have only used WP for blog 
   tools, not for whole sites with traditional menu layouts. We have a question 
   about how best to mod the menu structure to create what we need.
 * What we are after is a sidenav structure like this;
 * Services
    – Service 1 – Service 2 – Service 3 Products – Products 1 – Products
   2 – Products 3 – Products 4
 * etc
 * What we are thinking of doing is creating a category for each of the top level
   navs (services, products, about, etc) and create posts for each individual service
   and product with a category of ‘service’ or ‘product’.
 * The top level nav would then be pages with fixed content.
 * Is this workable do you think? From what I can see it should be fairly easy to
   create a small template for the sidebar which contains the top level pages (hard
   coded though alas) and under each one a WP tag pulls out and displays all the
   pages in the same category.
 * Anyone got any comments ?
 * Olly

 * Why not just use Pages and child Pages?
