Pulldown menus help

[yojoe]

but I still don't understand how to make this menu thing work better.

Without basic knowledge about css and html you won't not be able to create your own personalized menu.
But if you are fine with examples found over the inet, you can pretty easily embed them on your website.
Basing on this generator http://www.cssmenumaker.com/
1. choose the menu you want, adjust it in the way you want
2. download the archive, unpack, and find styles.css file, open it in a text editor (for example notepad2)
3. replace
.cssmenu => nav#main-nav
.active => .current
4. paste changed code into template's css file replacing old one (make backup first)
5. copy images directory into css file directory

and it should theoretically work without additional adjustments

If you won't be satisfied from acquired effects, go through extend and search for a GS theme compatible with i18n menu plugin.
