Think I know the answer here, ( don't have a drop nav bar ), yet thought
I would bring up to you gurus for comments.
ISSUE:
Customer checked site and emailed me with where are your Galleries.
I click Galleries and I see " Newest", and "Popular Photo" choice. Where
are the rest of them ?
Of course I educated him telling to just click the word Galleries again
and all would appear.
So the obvious here is to believe most will know to go back and
click the top choices AGAIN in Nav bar or many will be confused.
Confusion should never happen on our sites...Or is it best not to have
drop down choices. If one chooses not to have drop downs then where
do we put all those choices as Nav bar has limited space ?
Just want to see what your comments may be as this is the first
time this has come up and I see his point...

are the rest of them ?
Of course I educated him telling to just double click the work Galleries
and all would appear.

double click the top choices in Nav bar or many will be confused.

double-click:scratch Should never be needed. These are all links in the
browser and only a single click should be needed.

Sorry DOUBLE click was error on my part.
Issue is having to go back to original Nav bar word (galleries) and clicking
again to get to all galleries..
CORRECTED

You could add the /galleries in the drop and make the top button non-clickable.:D
<li><a class="drop" href="#nopick"> Galleries
<!--[if IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]--> <!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<ul>
<li><a href="/galleries">All Galleries</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/6133092_2XUWX">Newest &</a></li>

Confusion
My advice: Don't use really complicated navigation that is also hard to maintain and keep up2date.

Corrected both drop downs as suggested. Much
better IMO this way. Confusion gone as to where everything
is located or accessed.
Thanks Allen for the suggestion...
