 * It seems possible to make a submenu only one layer deep. I’d like to be able 
   to create submenus within submenus.
 * For example, I’d like to move “Pages” and “Posts” (and all of their submenu items
   of “All Pages”, “Add New,” etc.) to a custom menu item, “Site Content.” So, in
   tree form, it would look like this:
   Site Content     |—Pages          |—All Pages
   |—Add New     |—Posts          |—All Posts          |—Add New          |—Categories
   |—TagsPlugins… etc …But it seems I can only get one layer of submenu, ie “Pages”
   and “Posts” under “Site Content,” and then the “All Pages,” “Add New,” etc., 
   would have to be on the same level as “Pages,” and “Posts.” I hope this makes
   sense.Am I doing something wrong/missing something?

 * You’re not doing anything wrong, it’s just that WordPress doesn’t actually support
   multiple admin menu layers/levels like that. Adding more levels is complicated
   because WordPress wasn’t designed with that in mind. There’s a bunch of core 
   code that assumes the admin menu will only ever have one submenu level.
 * The Pro version of AME adds support for one additional submenu level, but that’s
   considered an experimental feature. I cannot guarantee that it will work properly
   on all sites/with all other plugins.
