Post installation

As a Drupal newbie (PHP ignoramous), I'm finding a million ways to do any one thing. The purpose of this post is to find the best method. I've put some thought into this so it is well documented for others.

PROBLEM:

I want to display my portfolio with a node-aware (a ".here" class and deactivated link) submenu WHILE CONSIDERING portfolio items falling within multiple categories (Project A below).

FOR THE REST OF THE SITE, HAVE USED:

For the rest of the site, I have done the following:
1) Setup Basic "Main Site Nav" menu
2) Added "page" content which automatically finds the parent menu item
3) Use Menu Trim to trim the submenu to JUST the current section pages. Works great. Yay Drupal. (Still don't have node-aware submenu, though.)

The problem with this is that everything in the site only has a hierarchy of 2 while PORTFOLIO HAS HIERARCHY OF 3. For example, my complete site nav is like this:

ABOUT & CONTACT
 -About Me
 -Contact Page
SERVICES
 -Services Offered
 -Services Process
RESUME
 -Work History
 -Education
PORTFOLIO
 -Identity
 -- Project A (in both web/ID)
 -- Project B
 -Web
 -- Project C
 -- Project D
 -- Project A (in both web/ID)
 -Photo
 -- Project E
 -- Project F		

CONTENT NEEDED WHEN AT PORTFOLIO SECTION PAGE:

I have a multisite configuration using common code base set up. Everything appears to be working ok with the exception that the user picture will not display. I looking at the generated code for the user profile page I see that the generated link is really screwy. It looks like:

I just downloaded 4.7.6 yesterday and have been playing with it to get a feel for how everything works. I couldn't find where to change the "Site Name". When I clicked 'settings' under 'administrator' i got a page that listed:

General settings -----------------------------
Error handling --------------------------------
.
.
.
Cron jobs -------------------------------------

but NOTHING on the page was a 'clickable' link.

Any suggestions please on how to make it so that authenticated users have access to (can see) specified primary links and associated pages?

Thanks very much, Lee.
