# Link Addresses

 * I’ve just installed WP and am using a WordPress Theme. Everything seems to be
   working fine, however at the top of my page are 5 menu items…Home, About, Archives,
   Links, and Contact. How do I update those links with new address. None of them
   go anywhere when I click on the except Home, which goes to my home page…which
   is odd since when I mouse-over the word Home, a popup says “Posted Recently.”

 * ??? How is _Home, About, Archives, Links, and Contact_
    not the info from the
   header I see displayed in your last post? It even says “topnav”

 * When I click on any of those links, they do nothing except for the Home link,
   which goes to my website. Funnier, when my mouse is over the Home link (that 
   goes to my site) a popup says “most recent post.” I guess I’m wondering what 
   those links are for?
 * Thank you…

 * They are currently cosmetic – you change them how you want and link to wherever
   you want. The theme author has no way of knowing what individual users will want
   to link to so they are “dummy links”

 * OK… I guess my question is still where do I make those modifications…header.php,
   css, etc…
 * I’m fairly new at this but comfortable with the applications, but I can’t seem
   to see where these “dummy links” are so I can modify them.

 * Got it! I just went and edited the header.php file and re-uploaded…
 * Works Fine…
