Menu items – can stay even if no posts?

Hi there since your site is live on the internet, I would suggest against including empty categories in your menu. The search engines are enough of a pain without giving them links to 404 error pages.

If you want to anyway, you can create the links using Custom Links in a Custom Menu. The URL would look something like this: http://www.uloc8.com/?cat=1 . You would have to determine the number for those categories. You can do that by hovering over the category name and in the bottom browser status bar you will see a long link. what you are looking for is the number after category&tag_ID=.
