 * Apparently there is some hard code in my theme’s sidebar for the Nav section:
 *  <li >< a href=”/about/”>About< /a>< /li>
    <li >< a href=”/contact/”>Contact</
   a>< /li> <li >< a href=”/archive/”>Archive< /a>< /li>
 * I’ve created the pages through the WP interface, but I have no idea how to modify
   the code to link to them.
 * Thanks in advance for your help!

 * Go admin > Manage > Pages and look at the ID# of the Pages.
    Let’s say “About”
   has an ID# 34. >> `<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?page_id=34">About</
   a></li>`
 * In this way the link will work from every page/view.
 * (For posting small code snippets in the forum – without being rendered – use 
   the “backticks”, see instructions below the input area)
