Customizing Navigation in a Theme

    I have recently installed WordPress and changed the theme to one called coffee cup.

    I am a complete beginner with wordpress and have tried to search for the answers but getting a bit tangled up with the terminology. My question is

    My blog/theme (www.fluidounce.co.uk) has horizontal navigation with the links
    space = for = your = links = etc.

    I go to the dashboard and the only thing I seem to be able to change is the CSS not the actual names of the links.

    I apologise if thus is a totally dumb question but I cannot seem to find the answer in the extensive support documents maybe because I am searching for the wrong term.

    I would be very grateful for any help

    In youre index.php you find the html for the navigation.

    href=”#” title=”Space”>space
    href=”#” title=”for”>for
    href=”#” title=”your”>your
    href=”#” title=”links”>links

    where the # sign is you can type the url. Where the names to display are standing you can type anything you like.

    Thanks for the help but I’m still struggling

    when I look at the blog in browser and view source code I can see the listed links

    <div id="hnav"><br />
    <div id="hmenu"> <ul id="top"> <!-- I'm afraid you're going to have to add your links in manually. Hey you want me to write your blog for you as well :)-->
    <li><a href="#" title="Space">space</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" title="for">for</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" title="your">your</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" title="links">links</a></li>
    <li><a href="#bottom" title="search in previous posts">search</a></li>
    <li></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.fluidounce.co.uk/wp-admin/">Site Admin</a></li>
    </div>

    However when I open up index.php either in the wordpress dash board or in dreamweaver they don’t show up.

    In the source code there is a comment saying that I need to update links manually which I don’t mind doing if I can find them !

    I am afraid red-star mystyped the file name ??
    Look in the header.php of the theme. Try to use a simple, plain text editor, or use DW ONLY in code mode (not wysiwyg!)

    p.s. Next time read the instructions below about posting snippets of code. (Now I’ve corrected it.)

    Thanxz for the correction moshu. No mistype, but more not clear explaind from me. Of course there are more sections where the navigation can be placed. Sometimes its the index, sometimes its the footer, and othertimes its the header.
    Ive been referring to my own situation because i have those things in my index.php.
