I've successfully installed Drupal and I'm learning my way around. I've also installed the Molleo theme because it provide tabbed navigation at the top of the screen. The theme looks great, but how do I set up tabs?? I don't see any other type of navigation block except for primary links and they do not display at all in the Molleo theme.

This might be a bug with the Molleo theme, but are you sure you enabled the primary links at administer>>settings>>menus?

After you do this, go to administer>>menus>>primary links and click on the 'add menu item' link to add primary links or move them from administer>>navigation.

I assume that enabling primary links entails adding a few, which I've done, and they show up as enabled. They also show up when using the default drupal theme. But no luck with Molleo, which is a shame since it's such a nice theme.

Doesn't Drupal 4.7 have tabs built in? How does drupal.org get their tabs? I must be missing something!

Bluemarine? Is it true? But, I have never seen tabs (tabs as on, say, amazon) in bluemarine, just links. Am I missing something?

The tabs shown in the drupal admin areas are generated by menu_set_local_task or some such function. The tabs for the primary links navigation need to be available in the theme folder as images and then css unordered lists are used to convert them into tabs.

There is a tabs module somewhere, but I have no idea if it can be used for this purpose.

I meant to say that the primary menu items show up in the default but show up nowhere in Mollio.

So far, the only two themes that display tabs that I've found are Spread Firefox, and Slash. I guess I'm going to have to dig deep into CSS. Geez, between learning Linux, LAMP, PHP, CSS, and MySQL, my brain is getting fried!! Not to mention good ole html and (x)html.

In the version I work with (6.4) you can achieve horizontal tabbed navigation with the primary links. Visit Administer > Site building > Menus > Settings and make sure "Menu containing primary links" and "Menu containing secondary links" are set to the same menu (most likely "Primary Menu" ). Then add the secondary items as children of the appropriate primary item. Your theme will also need to print the secondary menu (links).

More about this (for example) at: http://drupal.org/node/300641 and http://drupal.org/node/263438 and http://drupal.org/node/270875.
