Need some nav building guidance

Permalink
I plan on making my website all free and managable. I'm fairly comfortable with CSS and HTML seeing that's what I used to create my Yola site with lots of help watching videos etc...

So now I have a basic webste created. I just copied all the code from my current Yola created site into the pages I just created in C5. No problems at all with that. What I would like to do is have a custom horizonal nav bar with sub menus that show up on all of my pages. Should I just look for html/css code that will do this for me and then jst past it into a Content Block? If so, what path should I use to my pages in the href sections of the code?

Thanks!!!

Its not a good idea to use content block for nav menus. Rather you could easily use any add-on for that. Here is a free add-on available which will be useful.

You just need to put an editable area where you'd like to add menu. If you want the menu to be displayed in all pages, then I'd suggest to use global area so you don't need to add the menus in all pages.
Here is the code for Global Area
<?php
    $a = new GlobalArea('Header Nav');
    $a->display();
?>

Then simply put the page in edit mode and the new amiant nav block. Then customize the css accordingly to match your own html/css.
