 * I can’t seem to add anything to the main menu on my front page.
    (I am using 
   the polaroid theme)
 * I click to add a page to the menu for my contact details and it comes up as added,
   but it is no where to be seen when I view my site.
 * Does any one know why this is happening? And how I go about adding another heading
   to my menu list

 * I have followed that guide, but it still won’t change, is it because I have my
   new post page as my first page? Rather than a home page?

 * Have you added your new menu to the Primary location in Appearance -> Menus?

 * I don’t know how to do that.
 * There is no option within Appearance to add a menu to the primary location.
 * I have added a menu and added some pages into it, saved it etc, but it is still
   not showing up anywhere

 * Have another look at [WordPress_Menu_User_Guide](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide).
   I’ve just re-written it to try and make the process a little clearer.

 * In the dashboard, go to Appearance > Menus
 * Directly under the heading “Menus” there should be a little box titled “Theme
   Locations”. Inside that little box is a drop-down menu labelled “Primary Menu”.
   You can use that to choose the menu you previously defined with all your pages.
 * If you’re still stuck, try posting a screenshot for us to see.
