How do I create menus?
To create a custom menu, give it a name above and click Create Menu. Then choose items like pages, categories or custom links from the left column to add to this menu.
After you have added your items, drag and drop to put them in the order you want. You can also click each item to reveal additional configuration options.
When you have finished building your custom menu, make sure you click the Save Menu button.

I want children pages!
- To create children pages, simply drag you additions slightly to the right. This can be done from one of the tabs (i.e. Primary, Secondary, +), which can be renamed to whatever you want! Keep it short, though.

- `Title Attribute` is a field for the mouse/hover effect. For example, `Page about moi!`
