Not sure when this page was added to the codex but here is a simpler way to pull in those other posts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts When I clone myself so I have more time, I'll update the post to reflect the new method from the codex. :/ @note to self :)

I think this is more a design and site architecture issue - kinda feels like 35 pages just shouldn't be part of a navigation - or if it does - then it needs to be organized into manageable (navigatable) chunks. (Is navigatable a word?? Heh. Well, it is now! LOL!) Also - when you start to get even close to the double digit (and certainly beyond) of nav items - I don't think they should go across the top in the very least. On a project I worked on a few months ago that had a large number of sub pages, I broke them down into categories, which you could then click to "show/hide" to see the list of pages. It may technically be "mystery meat" navigation - but probably that is better than so many links you'll never find the one you need. That's my $.02 :) @tom

I also employ a list down the left sidebar. Everything's dynamic. As the viewer moves through the pages, parent page links, current level links, and child links all take their rightful place. The problem is I have a page with 35 sub-pages. Obviously 35 links doesn't fit on a nav bar. Any possibility to provide a scrolling nav bar has stymied me. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your consideration. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to find a solution before I pull out all my hair and go prematurely bald. Thanks again.
