Tech Notes: Adding a Category Link to your Menu Bar
This morning I set off on a mission to add links to both my technolgy and recipe posts to my top menu bar. Not sure how to do it, I turned to Google.
To my dismay what I found was post after post filled with complicated language and terminology. After visiting probably 20 web sites, I eventually figured it out, but it took way to long.

2) On the right side, under Theme Files, click TopMenu.PHP

Note, the new link will appear in the order you place it. So, if you insert this code at the bottom, it will appear on the far right of your tool bar.
Good luck!
