		<description>Thanks, Reverend. Yes, in fact I am using the latest version of K2 w/ WP2.6. It looks like they are doing some crazy subroutine calls and there is no longer any actual HTML for the global nav in header.php. Oh well. thanks anyways!</description>

		<description>Hey Rick,

Let me ask, are you using K2? If so, which version? I ask because it seems the latest K2 does something a bit different making the following instructions somewhat wrong.

In general, you would go to the header.php and find something like this:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/bavatuesdays/2756565441/&quot; title=&quot;header.php menu code 2 by bavatuesdays, on Flickr&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3019/2756565441_e850fbee42.jpg&quot; width=&quot;475&quot; alt=&quot;header.php menu code 2&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

And change it to something like this:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/bavatuesdays/2757399148/&quot; title=&quot;header.php menu code 2 by bavatuesdays, on Flickr&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3202/2757399148_279248288f.jpg&quot; width=&quot;475&quot; alt=&quot;header.php menu code 2&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

As you can see in the code aboe, I am simply adding new pages by including list elements and links to the new pages, this allows me to customize the pages while at the same time including external links like my wiki in the header nav. I also exclude a lot of pages from the nav bar with the exclude call you see above.  

There are plugins that promise to do this (and themes like MistyLook that actually do), but I have just gotten inot the habit of hard coding it like this, it ain&#039;t pretty but it works.

		<description>Hi... I noticed you&#039;ve customized your global nav links. I can&#039;t seem to figure out how to do that. Any tips?</description>

		<description>Jim,
could you please give a bit more details on this (your last comment)?

I would like to remove the sidebar for my pages except for the post page/blog. When you have some time, I&#039;d appreciate a walk thru or some more hints (I&#039;m n00bish so be gentle!)</description>

		<description>Scooter,

You can keep the original templates for the home and blogging pages, and use a different template for all the other pages.  You can do this by selecting a different template in the write post/page left-hand sidebar.  

You can find the page template (page.php) in your theme folder.  Then take out the code for the sidebar and extend the content area in the styles.css I have done this a couple of times for K2 and it is pretty easy once you get used to creating a new template using the original template, re-naming it, and changing the content size for that template.  I&#039;ll see if I can&#039;t come up with a quick how-to sometime soon.


Sorry if I am being a bit vague, just been at a conference and super busy, subscribe to these comments or use the e-mail notification and get I&#039;ll get back to you shortly.</description>
