First, I am new to Wordpress and currently migrating my old hard coded (via MS Expression Web) website to it.
Second, thanks for a great Theme!
Goofy question, on my Page Menu I'd like to have a clickable link to my Forum. I haven't seen any option for this in Atahualpa, so in Wordpress > Pages I added a new page and gave it no body and in Title I wrote "<a href="http://cheeseforum.org/forum/">FORUM</a>"
This gives me a clickable menu option, but it is displaced below the nirmal menu line.
Appreciate any advice including redirect to an existing thread (searched but couldn't find).
TIA, John.

Thanks juggledad.
OK, I created a new menu in WordPress made up of one Page which is a link. Now how do I add that to my Atahualpa Page Menu Bar?
Or are you saying I cannot and have to add my new Wordpress Menu called Forum as a Widget?
Thanks for your patience!

on the menu page top left side is a section 'Theme Locations' - Menu1 corrisponds to where you put %pages in the Configure Header Area, and menu2 takes the place of %cats.
Just choose your menu and it will show up. You may want to read up about this new Wordopress feature at wordpress.org or do a google search on it.

Thanks again.
OK, I've spent an hour looking at top left of screens for 'Theme Locations' for example in Wordpress > Appearance > Menu and in Atahalupa Theme Options > different screens and the only place I can find 'Theme Locations' is under Wordpress > Appearance > Themes which just gives the address for your theme. Do you want me to make some files and move them into a directory there?
I've also tried Wordpress > Appearance > Atahalupa Theme Options > Style and edit HEADER AREA > and replaced "%pages" with "menu" and with "%menu" but neither text works.
Sorry for being such a PITA but I am completely lost.
