Menus

Almost every website uses menus for navigation. At its simplest, a menu is just a list of links, arranged horizontally across the top or bottom of the page, or vertically down one of the sidebars. The list of links is often formatted, for example as a set of colored rectangles, buttons or tabs.

Drupal provides support for menus in various ways. It has several built in menus, and also allows you to create your own menus and position them on the page. It provides easy ways to add items to menus, linking to nodes or external URLs, and to reorder menu items. It allows for multi-level (hierarchical) menus.

The appearance of a menu is of controlled by the theme. The configuration controls what items are on the menu, the theme controls how they look, as is the case with most things in Drupal.
