Hello Bolpinger,

This sounds, as if you inserted the list by hand. Hardcoded in the tmplate-file.
You should use the functions, to register a navigation-menu. Then you can call the menu in the template, where you want to show the menu.
Did you read this: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Navigation_Menus
and: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/register_nav_menu
You can realise the dropdown with css, but with js it would be possible, to animate it in a better way.
