Here We Discover That Our Theme Isn't What We Want
It's OK, as we can change it anytime, and it's easiest now.

We now have a parent, or main page called "About Me." And we've created a child page under it called "My Clients" for testimonials. The only problem is that this theme doesn't want to display the hierarchy structure, with the child page indented under the parent. If you go to the "About Me" page, it will then show up in the box, but I want my visitors to know it's there from the beginning.

You're now seeing how you can think you've chosen the perfect theme, only to find that it comes up short in some way. Trust me, I tried to tweak the settings to do what I wanted with this one, but it didn't work. So, I went out and selected another theme. The new one only uses the page box on the left, without using tabs across the top. It's more efficient with top of page space usage, and will allow more "tabs" or pages in our left side box. Here it is on the site.

Remember, you can select any theme you want, and you can change it any time. However, the longer you've been live, and the more content and tweaking you've done, the more adjustments you're likely to be forced to make when you go to a new theme. At any rate, we've made a theme change, and hopefully we'll keep this one through the rest of our tutorials.
