    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”

      @Rohit Mishra: A 5000 page website will take a log of time to build and you need to do it 1 by 1 for the best results. So it is a lenghty proccess or you have to use a tool like WPRobot
