I have these sidebars with recent comments, archives, and meta which has site admin, login/logout, and rss feeds. I want to ditch these sidebars and put all that functionality in a horizontal menu. I want the user to be able to hover the mouse over the "Recent Comments" menu item and have about 10 summaries of the most recent comments flyout of the menu. For the archives I just want the menu item to be a link to a page that contains a list of all the posts.

Is all this possible? I've looked at plugins, but I don't understand what the heck these people are saying, so I can't tell what the plugins do exactly. How can I figure out how to do this? I'm proficient at programming, I just want to know how this stuff should be done. I'm not very familiar with Wordpress.

Thanks!

Can you clarify how this is a wordpress question and not a CSS question? – m0r7if3r Feb 11 '12 at 20:28
@m0r7if3r: So you guys aren't going to answer my question, is that what you're telling me? – Matt Gregory Feb 11 '12 at 20:59
Uh...it's not my question...so I'm not really sure how you expect me to know what your intent was. If it's a CSS question (if you're as experienced of a programmer as you say you are then you should know whether it is or isn't) it needs to be directed somewhere else as this is a site for wordpress help. (I think webmasters handles CSS...but I don't really remember) – m0r7if3r Feb 11 '12 at 21:00
@m0r7if3r: I honestly don't know if it's a CSS question or not. I don't think it is. – Matt Gregory Feb 11 '12 at 21:08
Alright, let me put it to you this way: Are you looking for specific code? General implementation notes? A solution for a specific hurdle you're facing? The scope of the question as it stands is, imo, just too broad...narrow it down for us a little :) – m0r7if3r Feb 11 '12 at 21:13

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Your best bet without building a complete long script + css + jquery is to use a plugin.

The only one i know is free is this one http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jquery-mega-menu/

There some better one (personal opinion) on code canyon..

Cheers, Sagive.

Thanks for the reply, but that's not going to work. It depends on the Wordpress menus and I think they can only hold permanent links. – Matt Gregory Feb 11 '12 at 21:56
