How do I make my navigation bar link to an external page?

Question

My website is wordswithfriends.net

At the moment all of the top navigation menus link to an internal page. I want "Contact Us" to link to an external page ask.wordswithfriends.net

How do I do this in the administration panel? At the moment all I see are options for editing the page

Answer 1

It depends on your theme and WP version (you're using 2.9.1 - you should consider upgrading).

You can:

• upgrade to V3+ to use the menu editor that's built in (recommended) more info: http://templatic.com/news/wordpress-3-0-menu-management
• hard code your theme template with the link added to the end in the HTML
• modify the theme call to wp_list_pages() function excluding your contact page link (see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages)
