	The "~~Unique Name~~" ~~field should~~ be a single word and ~~we recommend using lower case letters~~.		The "Title" is the title that Joomla will use when it displays your menu.

			The "Menu Type" must be a single-word unique name of your chosing that identifies the menu.

			The "Description" is a brief phrase that will appear in the back-end menu manager.

			Once you have created and saved the new menu, you must add a module to handle the menu. You
			do this on the Joomla->Menu Manager page. There, you will see your new menu and you need to click
			on the "Add a module for this menu" link. This brings up the Module Manager:Module Menu definition page.

	~~The~~ "~~Title~~" ~~is the title that Joomla~~ will ~~use when~~ it ~~displays your menu~~.		In the Module Menu definition, enter a title; select the position as 'left'; set access to Public or Registered
			depending on who you want to be able to see the menu and then click the "Save & Close" icon.

			At this point your new menu exists but it will not be displayed until you add a menu item to it.

	~~The "Module Title" is the name that you~~ will ~~see when you refer~~ to the ~~menu in~~ the Joomla ~~back end~~.		You will probably want to change the ordering of the menus. You can do so from Joomla->Extensions->Meodule Manager
			by clicking on your module and changing the "Ordering" field.

	Once you have created the new menu, you still need to apply some configuration setting to it. You do this in the module manager at Joomla->Extensions->Module Manager. Click on the name of your menu in the module manager and set the following:

	* Enable;
	* Access level: Registered (assuming you only want registered users to see it);
	* Under 'Advanced parameters' set the module class suffix to be '_menu' (no quotes).

	~~Finally set the position of your new menu using the up/down green arrows in the Module Manager.~~
