Go to your Dashboard —->Appearance —->Thesis Options —->Navigation Menu…

Just click and hold between the boxes and you can drag them into whatever order you want.

Usually when you put a page in the nav bar, the title that you originally created for the page is the same as what will appear in the nav bar. Check out the nav bar on this site and click on “archive”. Notice how the page title says “Check out all my older stuff…”. Here’s the simple way to make this happen.

First, go to Dashboard —->Links —-> Link categories…

Create a link category. I named mine “navigation menu”. This is simply going to be a holding area for all the links I want in my nav menu.

Next, create a page and publish it. View the page and copy it’s URL….

Next we’re going to put this new page into the “holding area” called navigation menu…

Go to Dashboard —–>Links —->Add New….

When your here just fill in the other options to whatever gives you the effect your looking for

Next we’re going to add this page to the nav bar…

Go to Dashboard —->Appearance —->Thesis Options…

From the drop down list pick the category that you put the links you want to put in the nav bar, in my case it was navigation menu

Hit the save button and check it out!

Go to Dashboard —->Appearance —->Thesis Options…

These are all the pages in my site. Every time I create a page it automatically gets updated into this list. Now it’s just a simple matter of checking which pages I want in the nav menu. The title I created for the page is the title of the page in this list and will be what appears in my nav bar. To change the title so it’s different than what will appear in the nav bar, check out this tutorial.

Uncheck the the “show feed link in nav menu”, hit the save button.

Dashboard —-> Appearance —-> Thesis Options….

Pick your choices from the drop down menus. Hit the save button.

In your custom.ss file add the following code. You can put it anywhere you want but I recommend putting it at the top. Remember, once you make the change, save it, and upload the new file to your server. Always describe what you’re doing by putting your descripton between the comment tags /*  */ at the beginning shown below in green. The comments aren’t shown on your rendered page and it just makes things easier for you to remember…

/*move nav bar to right*/
.custom ul#tabs { float: right;}

/*move the nav bar below the header*/
remove_action(’thesis_hook_before_header’, ‘thesis_nav_menu’);
add_action(’thesis_hook_after_header’, ‘thesis_nav_menu’);
