By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -
So I love the look of my blog but I need to have a few menu buttons on the top.

Such as:
About me
Giveaways
Blog hops
Praise Reports
Cute things my kids say or do
PR Friendly

What else do I need? How do I go about doing that?  I understand html code a teeny tiny bit... hmmm?

from your dashboard click new post. then there are those tabs that say posting, comments, settings, etc. under that you should see new post (the section you are currently on), edit posts, and edit pages. click the edit pages. that is where you add a new page. hope that helps! cant wait to see what you do! :D

Posts do not generally go onto other pages like you've got on the navigation bar now. Pages are static--set up to remain the same all the time. They do not collect posts, no matter how you set them up. I guess it depends on if you want posts or pages.

You can set up categories that you can sort your posts into. I've seen this done on the sidebar, but you could do it at the top where your navigation bar is too.

I'm not really an expert on any of this!!! Just a HACK. ;-D There are a bunch of tutorials like the one I sent you on setting up categories and putting the on the navigation bar. For example:

Create categories:

Book Description
Discover how to lead your child to Christ.

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

This can be a fantastic way to learn about the process of caring for another living being. However, once you begin to raise your young family, it can be a challenge to combine your responsibilities.
