    The navigation menu is controlled by the template. Most template designers incorporate a simple solution to removing a page from displaying in a Nav Menu. Sometimes it's built in sometimes not. Thesis for example makes it as simple as checking off what you want or don't want to display. Pages and Posts are handled differently but both can be omitted.

    Make sure you are using WP 3.0 as there are new features... I have not tested them all yet.

    You can also search for "omit WordPress Page from Nav Menu" or similar.

    Or you can do it with a Plugin like this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/

    As you gain experience with WordPress you will realize how amazingly powerful it really is.

    As a quick option you can upload any static html page via ftp to your server.

    You can edit the header.php page to exclude the id of the page you create in the admin dashboard. That would be the easiest way to do it. Good luck

    I prefer to use pages, because they are usually not related to specific dates or have commenting (in my settings), which I don’t think go well with product pages.

    WP hide post i found this plug in that can hide you posts but still can be seen if i give the link., i think this will be great since i am planning to make a page for products and use posts as url to link them to the product that i reviewing.,
    am i right? :))
