Create non-blog site

Hello:

I’m creating a site without a blog. I have my header and footer created as I want. I’ve added all the pages that I need for the site.

I have three issues:

1. All the pages appear as links in a horizontal nav bar. Is there a way that I can show about 5 links horizontally and the rest vertically along the left side of the content? If so, how?

2. When I created my pages, I entered my content for each page in the editor. When I go to view the site, I click on the long line of horizontal links, and the pages are empty. What bit of code do I need to include in my content div in the index.php file which will display the content for each page?

3. When I was viewing my website, I noticed that the URL in the address bar shows page_id with a number. Is there a way to change the URL in the address bar so it displays the name of the page I’m viewing?

Thanks for the help.
