Each menu is rendered in a block that may be positioned and displayed using Drupal's flexible block system. Five menus are provided by Drupal and are always present: <em>Navigation</em>, <em>Management</em>, <em>User menu</em>, <em>Main menu</em>, and <em>Secondary menu</em>. The <em>Management</em> menu contains links for administration and content creation, while the <em>Navigation</em> menu is the default location for site navigation links created by newly enabled modules. Both of these are often displayed in either the left or right sidebar. Most Drupal themes also provide support for the <em>Main links</em> and <em>Secondary links</em>, by displaying them in either the header or footer of each page. The <em>Main menu</em> is the default source for the <em>Main links</em> and the <em>User menu</em> is the default source for the <em>Secondary links</em>.  By default, the <em>User menu</em> has links to take the current user to their account or allow them to log out, while the <em>Main menu</em> and <em>Secondary menu</em> contain no menu links but may be configured to contain custom menu items specific to your site. You may create an unlimited number of additional menus, each of which will automatically have an associated block.") . '</p>';
