Custom Navigation?

Sure we do,

Yout pages will have links by default right? Yes. and easier method will be to write static html and create divs, eg:

<div id="feature-strip">
	<div id="galleries">
		<div class="fbox f-seen">
			<a id="n-asseenin" title="" href="/category/as-seen-in/">
				<strong>Frankie Magazine</strong>
			</a>
		</div>
		<div class="fbox f-portfolio fboxend">
			<a id="n-asseenin" title="" href="/category/as-seen-in/">
				<strong>Frankie Magazine</strong>
			</a>
		</div>
		...
		<div class="fbox f-personal fboxend">
			<a id="n-asseenin" title="" href="/category/as-seen-in/">
				<strong>Frankie Magazine</strong>
			</a>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

For a more dynamic linking procedure, you may try a dump code along the lines:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/about"</a>

It’s pretty straight forward – basic php / html

I’m really new to code and even that above is over my head so how do I determine the shape/picture the navigation sits in? Is that the ‘feature strip’?
