Setting Up Arden Navigation and Nested Menus

Configure Arden’s PageList navigation, Journal link and optional two-level nested menus.

Arden ships with these main destinations:

  • Services → /p/services.html
  • About → /p/about.html
  • Journal → /search?max-results=9
  • Contact → /p/contact.html

Edit the main menu

  1. Go to Layout.
  2. Open Main navigation.
  3. Add, remove, rename or reorder links.
  4. Save and check the live menu.

Create dropdowns

Use hyphens at the beginning of the link title to create the menu hierarchy:

Services
- Consulting
-- Strategy Session
- Ongoing Support
About
  • Parent = top-level item
  • – Child = first submenu level
  • — Grandchild = second submenu level

Parent links remain clickable. The adjacent arrow opens their child links. If a child item has no valid parent above it, Arden keeps it usable as a top-level link.

After publishing a Blogger Page: open it once and confirm the actual URL. If Blogger chose a different page address, update the PageList link to match.
