 * I cant seem to find a way to create the drop link in the navigation section (
   as shown in the demo site). Any idea?

 * 1) Start with a theme that has dropdown nav built in
 * 2) In the Dashboard, assign the main nav page as the Parent on the pages you 
   want as items on the dropdown nav. You do that in the “Parent” dropdown in the
   Attributes section when you are editing a page. (Can also be changed in Quick
   Edit).
 * That’s really all that’s necessary.
