ok - there seems to be a bit of confusion about how to best modify templates. When a module is installed, all defined templates for that module are inserted into the database, where they can be seen in "System" -> "Templates". If you want to modify a template, instead of modifying the files in /modules//templates, you can modify them in the database by:

First. Clone the default template set. Go to "System" -> "Templates" and click [ Clone ] for the default template set.

This template set will hold all our custom changes.

Second. Edit your template. If you click on "[List]" next to "System", you will see a long list of templates. Page templates are displayed at the top, block templates are displayed at the bottom. In your particular example, you want to modify the Main Menu Block - "system_block_mainmenu.html" in the block section.

To add links to your main menu block add the appropriate html code after

To make them look just like the other modules in the main menu block your code should look like this:

<a class="menuMain" href="yoururl">Your Title Goes Herea>

Third. Set this new template set as the default.
Go to "System" -> "Preferences" -> "General Settings" and change the "Default Template Set" property to our new template set.

If the above seems too daunting for you, I highly recommend downloading the iMenu module, which lets you define Main Menu links in the administration panel.

I downloaded iMenu and installed it. However, when I click on the module link, all it does is give me a form with the following entries:
Title
Link
Hide no/yes
Target ...
Groups.

So I put in a link, clicked "submit", and now I have a list of links but don't know what to do with them? What do we do after this?

Thanks

You have to install modules

What is your site going to be about?

I am trying to find out which modules you need.

Sample modules:
Forum
Web Links
News

Click on 'Forum' on the left mein menu to see what it is.
Same with 'Web Links' and 'News'
