===Plan the Menu and Menu Items===

:* Look at the likely Articles and Categories that the site will have
:* Decide on the Menu items you want at the Top level. It is important to give them sensible and meaningful names.
:* Decide what sort of menu item it can be (will it be a Blog or a List or an Article for example).
:* Decide on any other menu items below the main items. Again they should have sensible names to indicate what is there.
:Menu items can also be created underneath sub-menus; whether you want to do this depends on the site. You can have quite deep structures, but users find two layers easiest to use to find things.

It is not difficult to alter the Menus after the site is established so this list can be seen as a starting point. No-one gets it right first time.

Write them down and indicate what sort of Menu, for this will be needed when you create them. Use names that makes sense to anyone visiting the site - an obvious point - but not always done.

:'''An example of some of the menus for a site about a club'''
:In this example (to be further explored in creating a new web site) the Main Menu acts as the Top level with Menu Items created beneath it. And further items created beneath  the item About the Club to give two levels of menu.
