Hi there, working on my very first blog, self-teaching as best I can

Initially, "Home" and "About" were my only Pages, and my Disclosure Policy page is under the About page. Please reference my site.

I would like to have just one menu, below my header image. Therefore I removed %pages from the Configure Header Area. Now of course my Disclosure Policy disappeared, because it is a page and I turned off pages. If I change my Disclosure Policy to a Post instead of a Page, then I could have it show up in the "About" category, in my category menu below the header.

However is there a reason I wouldn't want my disclosure policy to be a post? Does it need to be a page?

Dumb it down for me folks LOL!

Thanks.

The big differences between posts and pages is that by default posts can be categorized, the are in chronological order and multiple posts can be viewed at one time. Pages are geared more for static content where you just one a single page such as the About page. You can certainly create an About page as a post in the About category but instead I would use the new WP menu system to just combine posts and pages in one menu. This does require WP 3.0.x and Atahualpa 3.5.3 however.

I am on WP 3.0.1, and am following the steps to upgrade Atahualpa from 3.4.9. to 3.5.3.
For the bug fixes (1st timer here), do I still need to do the steps for "fixes for version 3.5.1 and 3.5.2"? Or do I just pay attention to fixes for 3.5.3?

Thank you.

In the New Versions and Updating forum the third and fourth stickies are the most important. Which fixes do you mean?

Ok, I was looking at the 6 links on the 3.5.3 download page. So are Bugfixes 351-04 and 353-01 the only - or most important ones - I need to do? Thank you.

Yes... They are the most important.
