Well, it's never too late to begin a new stage of education, but I hope that won't be necessary here.

I understand that you are trying to make a new menu, to point to the eBAwords glossary. To make the menu, go to the Admin Menu page (tiki-admin_menus.php), and fill in the boxes under "Create new Menu". Give the menu a name (like "new_menu") and description; "dynamic collapsed" is probably the best type. Then save. When the page refreshes, you will find the menu listed. Click on the "tools" icon to add the links. The link to the top of the eBAwords structure will be something like
| Name: | eBAwords |
| URL: | tiki-index.php?page=eBAwords |
| Sections: | wiki |
| Permissions: | |
| Group: | |
| Type: | Section |
Nothing needs to be input for Permissions or Group since there are no restrictions on viewing these pages.
There is potential for confusion because "Section" in the above is used in two different ways. The first instance means the "feature" of Tiki that the menu item is pointing to, such as "wiki," "forum," "blog," etc. The second instance, under "Type," means the "folder" type of menu item, as opposed to "option" which are the items within a menu section. In the standard Tiki menu, for example, "MyTiki" is a section item, and "MyTiki home" and the others are object items.
More items can be added to the menu, as desired.
When the menu is ready, it can be displayed in a module (the boxes in the side columns) or directly in a template. The second choice is generally for horizontal PHP Layers menus, and require editing of a template file such as tiki.tpl or tiki-top_bar.tpl.
To put a menu in a module (side-column box), go to the "Admin Modules" page (tiki-admin_modules.php) and go to the bottom of the page, to "Create new user module". Give the new module a name (like "new_menu", for administrative use only) and a title (which will be displayed on the page, such as "Menu").
To specify as the content of the module the new menu that you just made just previously, under "Objects that can be included," see "Menus" and "phpLayersMenus". Your new menu will be listed here. Choose one, depending on whether you want a normal Tiki menu or a PHP Layers menu (the type whose sub-items appear in frames that overlap other page content), and click "create/edit".
Finally the module just made must be activated. Go up the same Admin Modules page to "Assign new module". In the dropdown list, find your new "new_menu" module (or whatever you named it). Choose a position for it, probably at or near the top of the left column, and for "visibility" choose "Displayed now, can't be unassigned". Click "assign." The other configuation items don't have to be filled in. You should then see the new module in your left column.
The menu you made can be further edited at any time.
Tiki is more complex than some other web software, and also is more configurable and flexible, which accounts for some of the difficulty in getting familiar with it. I hope I have answered your questions.
