Need help creating new variable for gallery page

[austin2008]

Hoping someone can direct me --

I am trying to create a new page that is associated with the top menu bar - I want to do a slide show gallery of truck installations -- I have the css for that ready to go -- what I am having a hard time doing is figuring out exactly how to implement a new page....

On the site listed above, the menu link called "image gallery", I want to be able to have that be its own page where I can plug in my css slide show of installations. I was very hesitant trying to create a new variable, and have only been using Actinic 8.5 since July and have tried my best to manipulate as much as I could.

Any advice/suggestions

Have a read of this - http://www.websitedesigned.co.uk/act...hure-pages.htm - should explain how to create pages.

Well, I do know how to do that -- my frustration is how do I manipulate the top menu bar so that my new brochure page that has the slide show is linkable up there??? That is why I was thinking I needed to create a new variable -- like for "contact us" or "terms". I have not put the new brochure page up yet because I am having a hard time having the css run on the page properly, and my day has been pulled away from me.

Any further direction, anyone? Anyone?

If you just want a link in the menu bar that links to your new page, then just create a normal link, no need for a variable. If you take a look at your live site using Firefox and the firebug plugin, you can see how one of the current links is formed (check the terms one out for example), simply copy that. The important thing to note is that you will need to apply the same styling to the link that the current links receive, the firebug plugin will illustrate all of this to you if you find it difficult to decipher the actinic code and the styling applied.
