I have another question concerning Pages. I finally think I have a grasp of drop-down navigation. I was able to enable the "autoindex" section of my phplugins file and got a second gallery page going (Projects) with its own autoindex. It has a test gallery under that and all works as expected. Coming from a coding n00b, I was tickled to get this far.
I am attempting to do the same with the About Me page (renamed from default About Pages page) with the intention to put some text-based pages under there (a couple are there for examples). The navigation bar is acting very strange for this About Me menu. It's navigation is acting totally different from the Galleries and Projects at least for me in IE and Firefox. I used the same snippet of code that I copied and pasted for the Projects page to build the About Me menu changing the necessary specifics.
Not sure what else you might need. Below is a copy/paste of the autoindex section of my phplugins file.
// SITE-WIDE "DROP-DOWN" NAVIGATION MENU w/ AUTO INDEX DROP-MENU
// This function establishes a site-wide navigation menu using pseudo-absolute URLs (beginning "/")
// -- portable, domain agnostic, and without the location limitations of relative URLs.
// Serves as an example of a function being applied globally.
// Utilizes the auto index script to list galleries in a specified location as a drop-menu.
function ttg_header_navigation( $style, $path ) {

It looks you already advanced a bit since you posted this code fragment.
There are two lines that you need to delete and then it should work better.
<li><a href="/info.php">Info</a></li>
</ul> <-- delete
</li> <-- delete
<li><a href="/about/index.php">About Me</a>Daniel Leu | Photography

Great! It looks nice now. I have to think about dividing my about page in subpages....
