We have been asked about this a few times to decided to do a small post on the easy way to achieve to having a link in your top navigation linking to an external website. For instance, you might have two websites, a gardening site and a gardening books website. On your gardening Wordpress website you would like a page showing in the top navigation saying books and leading to your gardening books website.

There is a very neat plugin called 'Page Links To', which does this for you. If you are unsure about installing a plugin  click on the link to view how to. Then instead of searching for the 'thank you button' search for 'page links to'.

Once you have installed and activated  the new plugin, you simply add a new page (click if unsure how to) and then go to edit the particular page and right at the bottom of your screen you will see the option to send the link to a new url, either in the same window or a new window.
