Navigation Menus

The TWU Minds template comes preset with a navigation menu near the top of every page that includes:

  • About Me a page you should edit to provide visitor an introduction to yourself.
  • Main Portfolio provides a way to see all artifacts in your portfolio. Beneath are sub-menus that provide a way to see the ones that are associated with the Foundation Courses, Student Learning Outcomes, and the TWU Ways of Knowing. The better you categorize artifacts as you create them, the more effective these menus can be to show the ones that match the categories.
  • Portfolio Index gives a way to see your portfolio like a Table of Contents, with links and counts of artifacts to the same categories used for Artifacts.
  • Blog If you create blog posts as journal entries, they will all appear here.

You can change anything on these menus, add new items, even arrange them differently via the WordPress menu editor. Find it in your Dashboard under Appearance -> Menus.

Make sure the selected menu is Main Menu (Primary Navigation). Click and drag any items in the menu display to re-arrange them. Use the Toggle button (far right) to open any menu item; you can change the text used on the menu label (like you might change About Me to be just About).

And you can add new menu items by using the content tools on the left side.
