How to create a dropdown navigation menu

To create a dropdown navigation you need first to add a link to the "main menu" linkslist, this will be the "parent" link for the dropdown. 

Then create a new linkslist with the same name of the previously create link. 

All the links added to this new linkslist will show up as a dropdown menu.
