To add an administration menu, there are three things you need to do: Create a function that contains the menu-building code. Register the above function using the admin_menu action hook – or network_admin_menu, if you are adding a menu for the Network. Create the HTML output for the screen, displayed when the menu item is clicked.

The slug name for the parent menu, or the file name of a standard WordPress admin file that supplies the top-level menu in which you want to insert your submenu, or your plugin file if this submenu is going into a custom top-level menu. For Dashboard: add_submenu_page (‘index.php’,…) For Posts: add_submenu_page (‘edit.php’,…)

To add an administration menu, there are three things you need to do:
The menu name, section names, and item names are all embedded into the HTML as CSS classes (normalized to contain only hyphens, rather that underscores or colons). This increases the size of the markup slightly but provides themers with a high degree of control and flexibility when styling the site.
