 * hi,
 * I would like to add Quotes to my blog and present them separately under a menu‘
   Quotes’. I think the best would be to use the “Quote” post format to specify 
   posts as quotes, and show only these posts under this menu.
 * Could someone tell me, how can I achieve this?
 * thanks
    Viktor

 * Do you mean add a link to your nav-bar menu? If so:
    Create a post category called
   Quotes Create a Custom Menu (If you are not using one already) There is a box
   on the Menu page called Categories. Add the Quotes category to the menu
 * Hope this helps!
    If it is not what you are after or if you would like me to 
   explain the steps further, please let me know.

 * I didn’t mean exactly this, but something similar. Instead of using categories
   I would like to use the [post format](http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats)
   that I have to specify for every post, and create a menu from these.

   Аnd google for _post format archives_. There are quite many articles about it,
   e.g. [http://www.chipbennett.net/2011/01/11/using-wordpress-post-formats-as-a-taxonomy/](http://www.chipbennett.net/2011/01/11/using-wordpress-post-formats-as-a-taxonomy/)
   The link for a post format archive must be like _http://site.com/type/aside

 * Thanks, I’ve managed to add a menu using
 * `<?php echo '<a href="' . get_post_format_link( get_post_format() ) . '">' . 
   get_post_format_string( get_post_format() ) . '</a>'; ?>`

 * I am not sure this way is good for a top menu. There is exhaustive tut in the
   chapter [Taxonomy Sidebar Widget](http://www.chipbennett.net/2011/01/11/using-wordpress-post-formats-as-a-taxonomy/).
   This variant is more suitable as a part of a top menu.
 *     ```
       $postformatterms = get_terms( 'post_format' );
       if ($postformatterms) {
       	echo '<ul>';
       	foreach( $postformatterms as $term ) {
       		$termslug = substr( $term->slug, 12 );
       		$termname = $term->name;
       		$termlink = get_post_format_link( $termslug );
       		echo '<li><a href="'. $termlink .'">' . $termname . '</a></li>';
       	}
       	echo '</ul>';
       }
       ```
   
 * For a WP custom menu may be it’s easier to add links manually.
