how to add external link to top menu
I'm currently using the default theme and cPanel. I would like to add a button to the top menu / nav bar that says "HOME " and it takes members to my home page (I would also like to add one that says classifieds and takes them to my e-commerce page - and i would hope the solution is much the same)
I've never done a successful code mod before and I would appreciate detail in a simple solution.
Would be even better if there was a plugin/theme that could do this.
Other options would be:
to have; My logo = Homepage link,
or,
A message header with a coded hyper link (what code to put in it?)
or,
a side bar link.
Any help on ANY of these solutions appreciated. Hell, i could use more than one option!
Background:
I'm sure this has been requested many times, but i couldn't find my solution
I read http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/14565/top-menu-items/p1
and i got a headache
I also read the theme tutorial on this site but couldn't get my head around how/what i needed to change.
I did also locate the css files and view files and managed to stuff them up once or twice and then fix it. So i kinda know how to get there.

Yay i figured it out.
I can't write code, but i can cut and paste it.
I added that 3rd line onto the default.master.tpl of "default smarty" theme.<h1><a class="Title" href="{link path="/"}"><span>{logo}</span></a></h1> <ul id="Menu"> <li><strong><a href="http://www.colinwill.com.au/">Patalk HOME</a></strong> </li> {dashboard_link} {discussions_link} {activity_link} {inbox_link} {profile_link} {custom_menu} {signinout_link} </ul> <div id="Search">{searchbox}</div> </div>
And it added a link to the front of the menu reading "Patalk HOME"credit to Aolee http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/148704#Comment_148704
