Go to Menus and Choose where do you want to add menu (Mainmenu, Top Menu). After select you want to add the pages (Articles, Components, etc).
well, if you wanted to add new articles then that is thru content --> article manager --> new you get default wyswyg editor and start posting new articles ! after completing the article , click on apply tab to save the page
Will these pages be assigned to the menus on the relevent pages ie if on my home pages I have a menu 1 2 3 And add another page which would be 4 would the menu show 1 2 3 4 would it generate the menu to add this page automatically
^ well, that depends on how you set the front page articles.. go to frontpage thru menus -> main menu OR top menu ; look at the right side ; there are different parameters to set how you like frontpage's display
i fill that joomla will generate number page automatically if your setting is right.. Ex: in Main Menu >> Home, if you change your setting become Front Page Blog Layout Type so automatically joomla makes number page if under page of joomla's site
