    Is it possible to link different templates through the menus? I want to set it up this way if possible:
    –Template 1 would have a the menu item “Shop” When you click on “Shop” it would bring you to Template 2. And a menu item for Template 3.
    –Template 2 has the menu item “Portfolio” when you click on Images it brings you to Template 3 and back to Template 1.
    –Template 3 has both “Shop” and “Portfolio” to bring you back to Template 1 & 2.

    So there are actually 3 different templates on the same URL. Only Template 1 would be the blog that is used daily.

    Is this possible without being a CSS or HTML master?
    Thanks for any help.
    John

    Not Sure if that is the answer – here’s why:

    3 different url’s with 3 different templates. I would like only the menus in each template to link to each other.

    http://www.thecreativetablet.com/blog/portfolio/store Template 1
    http://www.thecreativetablet.com/portfolio/store/blog Template 2
    http://www.thecreativetablet.com/store/portfolio/blog Template 3

    Is there a way to change the menu url to connect each one?

    Thanks,
    John

    You can create CUSTOM menu items. All you have to do is go to Apperance > Menus and then enter your own custom URL. So you’d just enter the Absolute URL to the page you want, and label it as you please.

    Check this screenshot for a reference.

    Evan,

    Thanks for the quick response. Another question: Is there a way to add a page or something (pop-up?)that lets the viewer know they are leaving the 1st site to go to the 2nd site? Deviant Art has a page that indicates “You are leaving Deviant Art. Is that OK?”

    Here is the link (hope it works):
    http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://society6.com/sandara”

    Thank again,
    John

    There is, but you need to implement it via JavaScript. If you’re not familiar with coding it can be a bit difficult. As a very basic example, this code would fire when the user goes to close the browser.

    jQuery( window ).unload(function() {
      alert( "Bye now!" );
    });

    This is just a basic starting point, but as you can see its quite doable. You could probably attach the alert to whatever button they are clicking to direct them to the alternate site.

    Anyone does JavaScript that could be hired for this? I am not familiar with it, but would like to have it done. Unless there is a plug-in?
