WordPress Newbie - Simple questions?
Hello,
Since this installation is a 'sub-site' for a customers website, I need to add a WEBSITE HOME link at the top next to Home. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Open your theme folder and get your header.php file out.
go to around line 63 and look for this
Code:

<ul id="nav"> <?php if (is_page()) { $highlight = "page_item"; } else {$highlight = "page_item current_page_item"; } ?> <li class="<?php echo $highlight; ?>">Home <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=0&title_li=&exclude='.get_option('excluded_pages')); ?>[/list]
This is your main navigation code.

Take a main link code such as this
Code:

<li class="<?php echo $highlight; ?>">LINK TEXT
And insert it someplace around the header.php code so you will end up with this
Code:

<ul id="nav"> <?php if (is_page()) { $highlight = "page_item"; } else {$highlight = "page_item current_page_item"; } ?> <li class="<?php echo $highlight; ?>">LINK TEXT <li class="<?php echo $highlight; ?>">Home <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=0&title_li=&exclude='.get_option('excluded_pages')); ?>[/list]
Simply replace the text inside the link with the following

SITE LINK = Replace with the URL of where you want the link to go to.
LINK TEXT = What you want the link to say.
