 * I was following the instructions from frosken (which were really great and helped
   someone do exactly what I wanted to do) in another forum post and now my menu
   is completely blank. I tried to restore it by copying in the code from file before
   I made the changes and it is still blank. Help!
 * Here is the code in my header.php file
 *     ```
       <div id="menu">
   
       <ul>
       			<li class="current_page_item<?php if (is_home()) echo ' current_page_item'; ?>"><a>/" class="current_page_item">Home</a>
       			<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=' ); ?>
       		</ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * I think I just need to do something with the <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’ );?
   > bit to make child pages show up when you hover over the parent page in the 
   menu.
 * Can someone point me in the right direction or troubleshoot this for me?
 * Thanks.
