 * This may be hard to explain, but this is how I want my site to look:
 * Main page, with posts as normal.
 * On the sidebar, I’d want pages that act as “folders” or categories. Those main
   pages would be the only pages that appear. Then when a user views one of those
   pages, the page appears, and the sidebar changes to list all pages defined as
   a child of that page.
 * The main issue is I only want the child pages to appear when you are viewing 
   their immediate parent.
 * Is there a way to accomplish this?

 * And there are a bunch of threads on this forum about “folding pages” which seems
   to be another term for dynamic or drop down menus. Search for that.

 * Indeed, folding pages was what I was looking for, just had no idea what to search
   for. That plugin did exactly what I wanted, thanks a lot!
