can the main navigation menu be moved to a left vertical column

site: http://www.bilc.org.uk
My friend works in a small school for people with special education needs. I set up a static website for him a couple of years ago (above). He now wants to manage the content himself.
So I want to set up a CMS for the site. Problem is i'm an amature at this but persistent and what to know if its possible to find a solution to my problem.
I want the main navigation to be on the left hand side of the page displayed vertically. Problem is, can it be done? if so how?
I tried giving it a go in wordpress but encountered the same problem: http://www.bilc.org.uk/knf

Hi Kevnolan,
Assuming you have a basic installation - edit the following to change the menu location and appearance...
themes\blackcandy\templates\Page.ss <-- note it's in a div, so there is probably css to edit too...
themes\blackcandy\templates\Includes\Navigation.ssBarry

Ok, So i've made the following changes:
#Navigation {
width: 100px;
float:left
margin: 0 auto;
padding-top: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
background: #4ea3d7 url(../images/headerRounded.gif) no-repeat center bottom;
}1) reduced width from 768 to 100px
2) added a 'float:left'I suppose thats a step closer can anyone give me any other pointers?

check out...
\themes\blackcandy\templates\Includes\SideBar.ss
that does <% control Menu(2) %> if you used this code qith <% control Menu(1) %> and always included this template
(i.e. removed <% if Menu(2) %> from \themes\blackcandy\templates\Layout\Page.ss ) that might do it -

If you mean edit sidebar.ss and change: <% control Menu(2) %>
to <% control Menu(1) %>
that doesn't change anything.
Thanks for trying though.

^^ in addition,
you should change every <% if Menu(2) %> in \themes\blackcandy\templates\Layout\Page.ss
to <% if Menu(1) %>And don't forget to flush your cache after template changes.
Cheers,

that doesn't change anything.
did you also remove <% if Menu(2) %> from \themes\blackcandy\templates\Layout\Page.ss ?
Otherwise that "SideBar" will only be shown when your pages have children (i.e. If Menu Level 2 exists, then show side bar)...
