How to use the WP menu system
Fearless Flyer themes utilizes the WordPress 3.0 menu system. This makes it easy for you to create every possible combination to your navigation – without touching code. The menu system supports drag and drop editing, as well as multiple levels of child entries.
Create a Menu
Go to “Appearance” > “Menus” and create a new menu. Enter a menu name and click “Create“.
This will create a blank menu panel in the right side of the page. The idea is to select categories, pages or custom links from the left side, click the “Add to Menu” button – and it will appear on the menu panel in the right. In this panel, you can drag and drop the links so you can design the menu hierarchy. Links that are staggered underneath become the drop down links from the respective parent.
Assign to a Theme Location
Once you’re done – hit “Save Menu”. In the top most left column – there’s a box called “Theme Locations“. Depending on the theme, this is where you assign the menu you just created from the drop down list. So if the theme has a menu location called “header” – it will show up in this selection. Once you select a menu selection – click “Save” and view your website. Your menu should now be in place.

How can I change the “Blog Roll” portion. Instead of this I would like have a Mailchimp email optin box. I am giving away a free ebook to encourage sign ups. But I will be using Mailchimp. How do I add the embed form to my site?
the blog roll will have to be removed manually. the mailchimp would have to be a plugin. check their site for a plugin – then its as simple as adding a function call into that section
On the demo, the menu turns to a dropdown when I shrink the page, but on my site it just wraps the menu to two lines. How do I get the dropdown at lower window sizes?
that depends on how the front end is coded. the wp_menu generates the uls and lis and a tags – it is up to you how to present it in css. In my demo – i’m most likely using the zurb foundation menu

I recently downloaded your lucky theme. I have not found on your site how to actually apply it to my wordpress site. Could you send me some instructions on how to make Lucky or any of your other themes my theme for wordpress.

Hi I just enabled ‘lucky’ but the big ad widget is there like in your demo version. how do I remove that? (Or if I wanted to place an ad, I’d have to put code in the editor?) Also can I remove the search button at top – it is crowding my title. I love it if those two quirks are fixed. thanks!
