Editing the Navigation

Changing the navigation is very similar to making changes on a normal page. There is a Heading 3 with the title of the site and a bulleted list of navigation items. The Title of the navigation should be hyperlinked to your site's index page. The remaining items should be in alphabetical order and provide an easy way for users to navigate to the various pages in your site.
