How to hide pages from top menu bar and show them in sidebar or footer area

Hi all, I have more than 15 pages (not posts) in my wordpress blog, but I want to show just 5 of them in top menu (included about, contact, privacy policy and disclaimer etc) and hide other ones from top menu bar, and want to show them in sidebar as popular pages (or any other name)?

Can you tell me how to do it?

 

Depends on the theme but it sounds like you are not using the wp 3.x menu system at all.... see appearance>menus

If that does not work someone will have to take a look but there are a few ways to do it.

I'm really weak in WP designing, Is there any plugin to do it Nigel?

 

That is built into wordpress out of the box. If you want to shoot me a link I can tell you what to do real fast. If you have skype or IM I can just do it real quick as well.

I haven't made the website yet! I'm planning to make that website, but I already have a wordpress blog, check it out, www.guideandnews.com is it showing big?

 

Big? Looks ok to me to but if you go check appearance>menus in your admin panel your question will answer itself

Is it not showing big like not fit in screen?

 

Not at 1280x1024 looks fine here. works on 1024x768 as well.
