3. Editing the sitemap.php file

The main Nav Menus can be easily changed sitewide by editing a single document using Contribute. The file sitemap.php is basically a series of unordered list items that contain the nav structure for the entire site. So each item on the main top nav (About, Services, etc.) has it's own unordered lists. Any submenu items are nested lists. The same document drives the side nav, which displays only the pages in the same list as the page you're viewing.
