Can't you simply add it to the home page?

Thanks that seems to have worked I will just put it on all of my pages.

you can always edit the page defaults

i have a similar problem i don't remember what i did when i was designing the home page but i don't see the navigation menu that came with the site. Could someone please respond. i want to be able to see the navigation menu on the home page, so that i could link to the other default pages and those i created

It sounds like you'd need to edit your page and add an Auto-nav or Page List block. Both come with concrete5 by default.

actually i got it to work by trying something while i was waiting for a reply. what i did was to go to the default page and copy the navigation menu to the admin scrapbook, which i then pasted onto the home page and there it was on the home page and i am able to see the default pages as well as those i created. the new problem is that i can't edit the navigation menu text to increase the font size or change its colour. anyone has any suggestion?
