    Have you enabled the core Path module? I also recommend that you get the Pathauto module also. This will allow you to specify how you want the url to look, then you can automatically modify all your current urls and automatically have all your new urls formatted.

    For the menus, you need to go into Admin->Site Building->Menus and then select in which menu you want to place your items. If you go under Navigation you will see all your items and then you can decide which ones to enable and what menu to place them in. Drupal comes with these three menus already prepared - Primary, Navigation, and Secondary Links. But you can add your own menus and place them where you want them by configuring them in the Blocks area of your Site Building site.

    Hope this helps. See my sig for step by step tutorials.

    I think that you need to look at Path Auto module. Then you will be able to configure your own url patterns

    "content" is in default path pattern for nodes. You need to replace it with your own pattern containing proper taxonomy token. Tokens are in the form of [something_here]. So your path for node should be like this "[your taxonomy token]/[title]"
    Even if you did everything above, new path pattern won't work cause Drupal doesn't calculate path patterns dynamically, but rather stores them in database. So to make new patter work, you need to clear old path aliases first, then regenerate path aliases using Path Auto configuration page. I think you will figure how to do that easily.
