 * I am a newbie to WordPress and I am very used to Joomla and maybe that is my 
   problem. Here is what I am having trouble with. I have a template that places
   the main nav menus at the top. I have created 15 pages. They all show up on the
   top menu and I do not want all of them to show. I can exclude them with a little
   plugin but then the left widget that I have for some of the pages do not show
   up as well. What I am trying to do is have some pages show on the top and the
   other as a page widget. I can setup the widget fine but when I use the plugin
   to exclude certain pages from showing on the main nav they also don’t show on
   the widget. How should I be setting this up???
 * HELP!!

 * Are you serious?? I thought WordPress was to be easy?? I have to use custom PHP
   code to make this happen. Say what, what? Now I know why I stick with Joomla 
   and I would have with this project except my client has to use WP. There has 
   to be a way to do this without having to modify some code or write any new code.
   Come on! A plugin or something?
