I get a lot of questions on how to make your page title different than what appears in the nav bar when you put that page in the nav bar. To learn how to add a page to your nav bar, check out this tutorial.
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!
