title: Im trying to create an navigation menu in ionic but it's unclickable and cuts off my ion-content
body: <p>So I'm new to ionic and to get started I am truing to recreate a blog I had made so that it is not only accessible as a website but as a cross-platform mobile application as well. I was working on the top nav bar when I ran into a problem - the links were not clickable, just static as if were text and only seem responsive in mobile view and even then the menu cuts off the content. I have tried to post as little code as possible but have the files with me so i can add as comments if need be. Thank you in advance</p>
  
  <p>I have tried moving the app-nav tag around, adding (click) which i didnt think i had to if i used routerlink. Adding a toolbar solves the cutting off problem but further eventuates the unresponsiveness as even in mobile view it is unresponsive. </p>
