Placing something like the following in your template.
{menu} will generate all the <ul> and <li> needed for all of your pages. The rest is up to you in your stylesheets. There are many options to {menu}.. Check the MenuManager help. You can also customize the menu templates if you need anything other than what {menu} produces.

How exactly does the Menu Manager work? Does it automatically detect new pages I added and then add them to the menu?
I will be using the Self Registration, Custom Content, and the Front-end Users modules later. Do I have to use the Menu Manager or can I just create the menus in the template and CSS sheets?

Yes, so where ever you want to insert your navigation menu (i.e. as Wishbone said
<div id"nav">{menu}</div>) then any new pages/new content you create will automatically be displayed inside there - *of course unless you don't want that page to be displayed on the {menu}, then you can just go to options and uncheck 'Show in Menu'.
Hope that helps!
