    So in your site the Main Menu shows your “Pages” I am guessing and your “Weblog Posts” are “Posts”

    @Rick: yes that is correct and since you can chance the title of any widget you want to use you can name them any way you want.

    You could name the pages “Pages” and the Blog posts “Articles”.

    I liked to make it more CMS like so I went for “Main Menu”

  3. Looks like a good advice for building websites with wordpress contents!
