Hello, sorry but I just started using wordpress and I'm probablly missing something obvious but I want a navigation menu on my left sidebar. I checked off the "page" pages, but nothing is coming but on my left sidebar. However, I have also added the %page on my header and it is working perfectly there.
Thanks in advance.

did you add the 'page' widget to your sidebar?

nope that was it told ya I was nub. Thanks
