Hello .. my first time here and first install with C5, slowly getting my feet wet. Just when I say 'oh, that was easy', something new comes along and stumps me for a few ;)

I am trying to figure out a couple of things and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

1. Where do you define custom 'areas' in addition to the default ones. For example, lets say i wanted to have a custom area called 'Specials'. Where would i define this?

2. I have a custom navigation that i built. Blocks seem intimidating to me a little bit b/c I am more a designer than I am a programmer. Assuming I have no need for extra pages, only to edit the ones I will be making... there shouldn't be any issues hard coding the links?

If i wanted for the navigation to be dynamic and expandable when if I were to add pages later... how much of a pita is that to do... any reference to doing such a task?

Thanks in advance!
