The theme's side menu contains a short information about the owner. You can upload your own photo and add some info about yourself. The menu itself uses the 'js-goto' class which makes VSResume to switch between pages. If you want to use an external link, simply remove the 'js-goto' class and add a valid href attribute.
The tiles from the main page work also as a menu so the side menu is completely optional, but the main page can handle up to 9 menu items so if you have more than that it's recommended to use the side menu.
