Something is eluding me.....

I want to have on the bottom of the page a horizontal series of links. What is the easiest way to do this?

What I have tried:

1) entered text in the footer of the site, but TinyMCE is not available, and I don't see an easy way to reference the urls. I could hand code HTML into the footer text and put absolute URLs in.

2) create a new block and put it in the footer section. I've done this, but again, it looks to me that I have to hand code in the HTML and use absolute URLs. I read somewhere I could create a new menu and simply put it into the block, but I don't see in the menu module that it is easy to create a series of links in the format of "xxxxxlink | yyyyylink | zzzzzlink"

I'm sure this is something simple.

Thanks

Maybe you should just create a menu, something like primary_links or secondary_links, but you can also do a new one if you already use those. Then you can put them anywhere you want. To get it in the format you want you just need to customize the template.

I already have primary and secondary links menus (using multiflex2 theme), and they are enabled and functional. So I'd like to create a new one. When you say customize the template, are you referring to template.php?

I don't know the multiflex2 theme, but it would more be something like the page.tpl.php or page-default.tpl.php file.
But actually i guess puttin a block with your links in it will be quicker...

I copied and pasted horizontal navigation code from page.tpl.php for the primary links into the footer, and hard coded the menu items. I guess I could create a new menu and reference it in the hardcoded section if I wanted to have the luxury of using the menu module in the future, but I don't believe that there will be many changes to this bottom menu.

One problem though with the menu module is that it does not seem there is a way to hide the menu title. The primary and secondary links menus don't have their titles displayed, but all user created ones seem to mandate display of the title.
