how to create web site
I have installed drupal and want to design a website for the intranet. I have defined primary menu links as "computing" , "Library", "Services" ,"Contact us" and defined to display on header.So far so Good. The http path I have given as as currently I have not designed pages related to above menus. I am stuckup here as I want to display some more menus under "computer" in Right side bar (as navingation menu is already on left side or I can put them on left side bar too) like "Getting started computing", "Computer centre rules", "Computer Security". Simillarly Library,service have some 5 to 6 links under them. When I will select Library link from header their respective links should be dispaled on right side bar. So How to create the page with right side links and link that page primary Computer links. Can any one tell me how to do it in drupal 6.x.
Thanks And Regards
Vijay

Some Ideas
I don't follow exactly what you're trying to do here, but it sounds like for each page you want to display a list of links, yes?
There are several clever ways of doing this, using views, panels, related nodes etc; and if your content is going to be dynamic and change regularly you should look at one of those.
If not, the far simpler way to do it is to put all of your links into a custom block, and set that block only to be shown on particular pages. This can be done using built in Drupal functionality.
Hope this at least gives you a little pointer,
Gareth
Thank you very much
See gareth_w,
my main menu will be above listed menu which will be appear in top header section and once i clicked to main menu, it should forward me to related submenu which i would like to create on left-hand side section. I had tried it with nice menu module but due to problem with my Dreamy theme it does not look in proper ways.
So I turn towards this solution so that my menu section will be not look in conjestested manner.
Whether I required to download any additional module other than core module which comes in bundled with drupal 6.2
Waiting for your precious suggestion.

Quick tutorial
Work your way through these tutorials.

If you want an expanding menu system (on the left) (This is simpler)
Basically you can add a page at Create content ->Page (node/add/page) and in the Menu Settings section (in the same form ) create a menu link and assign the menu link as a child of another menu link.

It is a good idea to create the page then add a menu item, create the next page and add the menu item etc.
To build your site
Create "Computing" page and in the Menu Settings section select the Primary Menu as the Parent item. Create "Getting started computing" page and in the Menu Settings section select the "Computing" as the Parent item. Then the Computing page will be a child of Computing.
To have links on both side of the page is possible but is more complex.
The good thing is that you can organise and reorganise your menus very easily so I would start with an expanding menu on the left then later when you understand more how drupal works then you can have multiple menu in blocks that show on certain pages.
For links on both sides of the page
Create your pages and create a new menu for "Getting started computing", "Computer centre rules", "Computer Security". That menu willl have a block automatically created for it. You can assign that block to appear on the right on the pages you want.

I am not sure if I get you,
I am not sure if I get you, ...
I think what you need to do is to go to the Menu creation page, and create a new menu called "Computer".
For this, a block is automatically created, which you need to remember to enable & of course set it to appear on the right side. There are a umber of further configuration options for blocks.
To create a page, go to Create Content & select "page"
On that creation page, fill in Title, then under Menu Settings, select the menu you want that page to be attached to. You will see the "Computer" menu and whatever pages you want to be under it should be set here.
