 * im not actually sure if this belongs here so please move to the relevent place
   if it doesnt.
 * i’ve recently converted my whole site to wordpress as opposed to just having 
   an iframe with word press as a news page.
 * i am currently in the process of adding all the pages into word press from my
   original html files.
 * i have built my one theme file today, but one thing i have found is, that in 
   the sidebar area the pages list as,
 * Main page
    followed by sub page then other sub pages.
 * is there a way to force it to only show the main page.
    or how would i implement
   a script that allowed drop down menus containing the sub menus. rather than them
   being shown.
 * I’m really sorry if this doesn’t make sense please ask for more details/
 * you can see what i mean here

 * help is very much appreciated, I’m a bit stuck for what to do really

 * Kingforaday:
    Try the code:
 * `<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>`
 * in your sidebar and see if that does what you want it to do. Setting the depth
   to “1” Restricts the list to only top-level parent pages. You may want to also
   check out the [codex entry on pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages)
   to learn about all of the parameters that you can use.
