 * I’ve just started using WordPress to create a website for my father-in-law’s 
   small business. I’m currently using the TwentyTen theme. I was wondering if there
   was a way to have site navigation both at the top (as is the default setting)
   and along the left side of the page. As it’s for a retail business, I’d like 
   the top navigation to include Home, Contact, Directions, Promotions, etc. and
   the left navigation to be exclusively for products (so a customer could click
   on a particular product category and navigate to the correct page). So far I’ve
   had no luck trying to figure it out on my own – is this simply a limitation of
   the theme, or is there a way to manipulate it?
 * Thanks for your help.

 * The TwentyTen theme is a 2 column theme (i.e. content and right sidebar). So 
   you would either have to customize the theme to include a navigation menu on 
   the left, or find a more suitable theme with the layout structure you require(
   might be an easier option).

 * Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress theme and having
   access to an **unedited** version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range
   of site issues. [Create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
