# CSS and Header.php confusion

 * Hi,
 * I’ve copied some new CSS-rules to my style.css in WordPress. I am using a downloaded
   theme called blocksys.
    These CSS-rules are for making some of the links in my
   navigation-menu, dropdown. I cannot specify in the “pages” category (WP-Controlpanel),
   that the new page I am making is going to be dropdown.
 * So the question is:
    Can I make the whole menu in the header.php like I can do
   in a HTML index file?
 * Is this the wrong way to do it? PHP is new to me, so I have no idea.

 * if you make child pages, they will appear in the dropdown menu below the parent
   page.
 * The better way to do this would be to modify or create a child theme that adds
   [Navigation Menus](http://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus)

 * It seems like my theme doesn’t support these menus. Even after writing the functions
   from the link you just posted.

 * Looking at the theme demo, I’d try to find a better coded theme. Usually, Proper
   dropdown menus have a combination of JS and CSS. Navigation Menus just allow 
   menus to be more easily editable in the admin.
