 * Hi,
 * How do you create a dropdown menu that lists the post categories?
 * I have tried creating a Page / Parent page, and playing around the Menu a bit,
   but to no avail.
 * Is a widget needed? Any one that works the best with this theme?
 * Thanks!

 * You’ll need to create a custom menu – see:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen](http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen)
 * Then you can add a category menu item there.

 * You’ll need to provide a link to the issue.

 * You don’t need a widget if you want a category menu in the regular menu – just
   create a custom Menu and add the category page(s) to it.
 * Have you created a custom Menu?

 * Yes, this was the first thing I tried under Appearance / Menu. It does not show
   up.

 * I would like to create a menu essentially identical to this : [http://sharongolod.com/](http://sharongolod.com/)

 * All you need to do is under appearance>menus create under Custom Link, in the
   URL write # and label it Dropdown, add it to the menu. Then add the categories
   to the menu and simply move them under the dropdown (once you are done with this
   you can change the name of the dropdown to portfolio, work, etc.) Once you have
   them underneath simply move them a little to the right but still under this custom
   link.
 * Hope this works!

 * Worked – thank you!
 * Also to note; Theme Locations must be changed to read the Menu you have just 
   chosen.
