I'm a super newbie using Drupal. I'm administering a friends website for her because her website designer split town on her. http://www.ittybittiesboutique.com

What i want to do is add a menu item at the top of the website in the menu bar that says "Store" that has a link to an online store i made for her.

it seems that every menu related thing i try in the admin part of drupal just lets me add menu items to the administration menu, not to the main menu bar of the website. The menu bar i'm talking about says "Home About Us Brands ....."

how the heck do i add a menu item with a link?

looks to me like whoever designed the theme, hardcoded the links you are questioning rather than using drupal's built in primary links menu. viewing the source code of a rendered page will help.

OH man!!!

how can i find out if it's hard coded? what do i have to do. I'm lost here, drupal is very very new to me. All i want to do is add a link to the online store.

Yup.. hard coded... so i'm guessing i just change this, upload it to the ftp site and i should be good to go?

yes. Unless you want to get into doing it the drupal way and putting back the things the previous developer seems to have ripped out.
