Creating navigation bars
Navigation bars can be added to any page but are typically added to the master
page—as this saves you the trouble of pasting the same element to multiple
pages. A navigation bar on a master page behaves as if it's on each page—
consistent with the notion that its buttons and menus are relative to where each
page sits in the overall site structure.
