Drop-down Menu
The Photographic Film theme has a multi-level drop-down menu that is using the latest function in WP 3.0. There are two ways to create the drop-down menu.
1) When you create hierarchical pages, the drop-down menu will show up automatically in the header navigation.
2) You can manually define the header links using the custom menu. To do it, first, click on the “Menus” link found under the “Appearance” tab in WP admin. Then follow the instruction on the page to add your custom menu. This feature only works with WP 3+.
Blog Title and Description

By default, after you install the theme, the blog title and description are showing the Arial font.
You can change the font style by following this instruction:

– Save the image using this name: bg_header.jpg
– Upload the image to your server in the “/styles/dream/” folder
Part 2: Activating the Style
– Login to your WP admin
– Go to the options page of the Photographic Film theme under “Appearance -> Photographic Film”
