2.6. Using The Primary Links Menu
Tapestry displays the Primary Links menu at the top right of the content portion of the page, just below the masthead. If you enable the Use Icons checkbox on the Theme Settings Page, Tapestry will decorate menu items in the Primary Links Menu with icons as described in this Handbook Page. Obviously, this means that you must first create a Primary Links Menu and enable it.
You can designate any Drupal menu as your primary links menu. A standard Drupal installation will come with a menu named Primary links, but you can select another menu to act as your sites Primary Links. Drupal also supports a Secondary Links Menu, but Tapestry does not provide any special support for seconday links.

You can crate a new menu by clicking on the Add menu tab of the admin/build/menu page, or you can add and delete items from an existing menu to get the structure you want. If you want Tapestry to decorate the menu item with an icon, be sure to follow the menu item naming conventions listed on this Handbook Page.
Once you've got your menu and menu items created, you need to tell Drupal that this will be the Primary Links menu. By pointing your browser to /yoursite/admin/build/menu/settings, you will have an opportunity to designate your Primary Links menu. Select your menu from the Menu containing primary links dropdown, and then click the Save configuration button.
Your new menu should appear immediately. You don't need to publish your new Prinary Links menu to a region. As long as you've designated a menu to provide the Prinary Links for your site, Tapestry will display it.
Tapestry's Primary Links menu is designed to present a single horizontal row of top-level menu items. If you publish a menu that has too many top-level items to fit in one row, you're not likely to get the behavior you expect.
