I've managed to finally install OP on my site (www.numnews.co.uk) and everything is up and running except the navigation menu.
When I log in I wanted the user to be presented with links to create content etc (the links found in the navigation menu in OP admin section) However I cant see this anywhere.
Can anyone tell me where the navigation menu items as seen in the admin area (for myaccount, create content, blog etc) can be seen or displayed?
I've tried adding 'create content' to the header but this displays a load of text with it, is there a way to just add links to create content etc?

I think I managed to solve it
I think I managed to solve it by adding the 'navigation' block but I've noticed with this that for admin it gives the option to 'create content' but other users don't see this option - how do I enable it for all users to see the option 'create content?
I managed to fix it - sorry
I managed to fix it - sorry to post so much, I'm new to this and its taking me a bit of time to learn everything.
Turned out all I needed to do was set the block to only appear on 'users/*' pages so everything is working now - getting pretty excited about using my new OP site!
I think you should be
I think you should be comfortable enough with a standard drupal before using OPenPublish... Open publish uses advanced features and I.M.O. is much complicated for a new drupal user. You started the hard way... ;-)
To let users post (create content) , is not just "display a create content block". You also have to set properly user permissions (see: /admin/user/permissions). But giving all users the ability to post (for example articles) is a security risk. Check carefully permissions and give "create content" permissions at least for authenticated users only.
Also Openpublish uses "Context" (see: /admin/build/context/list) to display varius blocks inside your site. You should prefer this way to display blocks.
