Creating a proper navigational experience for your visitors is going to be very important as you build out your website. In the early stages as you have few pages/posts on your website, it may not seem important but as your content grows, so does the complexity of your navigation.
In this video I am going to walk you through the following:
- Where and how your pages show up naturally as you publish
- Where to find the custom menu editor
- How to create and manage custom menus
- Adding a custom menu as the "main" menu
- Utilizing custom menus within widgets
- The importance of using custom menus
If you have any questions about custom menus or best practices in terms of navigation, please leave them below and I will be more than happy to help you out.

Great start! It actually made me change my theme to one that makes more sense. My first theme did not have widgets on the home page. Since I don't really want to spend my time figuring out how to do this, changing the theme was way easier.

Using widgets isn't really that hard.
When Kyle recommends them, he shows you how to install them : )

Hey Kyle great video like always :) ! I was wondering , how would i put only my privacy policy in the subfooter 1 for example ? if i add a navigation menu widget in the subfooter 1, everything from my top menu will shop up in the bottom of the page . Also , for my top menu , when create a custom link to add to the menu , do i have to somehow create the new URL it leads to before? Or this is what im actually doing when i create a custom link ? I did try and it brings me to my site like i wanted but says "this page cant be found" i gues its normal since i didnt put any content in this new location ? Then again , how do you create content on a custom link? its not a page nor a post . I guess im just not up to that point in the training . sorry if I ask too many question :o .. thanks

You need to go to menus and create a new menu (not using your primary) You can add any links that you'd like. If you just want to add privacy policy that is fine. You'd then go to widgets and add a custom menu widget to footer area. You'd then select the new menu you created and then it will only show your privacy policy!
