Thank you for the information. Now I realize why I hate CSS so much. HTML is nice and compact and organized. CSS is like someone threw up code all over the screen. I don’t understand why anyone would think it’s better to have so many carrier returns around the code you can’t even tell what’s being modified. It just wastes space on your monitor. I feel like I’m taking nine steps backwards in intelligence.

I do appreciate all the links. I just hate CSS so much, I’m probably going to require medication to get through the instructions. I’ve used the W3 site a lot in the past for specific answers, but I found their lack of explanation as to what things alter what in the more intense code confusing. Perhaps if I start from the *beginning* of the education material it will make more sense. At least I hope so, because I have a bit of a learning disability with things that don’t seem logical to me. LOL!

Again, thank you very much for the responses.

Quite frankly I have no idea what a child theme is. We had an IT guy that took care of the hard things. I’m an old HTML coder. Never made the switch to CSS so I have no idea what all these #codes mean or where they occur on the page. It seems like these themes use a lot of codes that aren’t under the generic CSS learning pages and I tend to do things more by code than visual editors.

Any recommendations on a web site or book that will take you very carefully through learning CSS intricately step-by-step? I have no idea where a child theme would be or how to make one, but it would appear I actually need to LEARN CSS now.

I understand the concept of putting things in one place so you can make one change and have it affect all the pages on a web site, but I’m a WordPerfect person. I like personalizing everything so it’s exactly where I want it when I want it. Old habits are hard to break.

Thanks for the NAV bar margin info. Worked WONDERFULLY!

Oh, BTW, I found out the reason the NAV bar word-wrapped was that when you are on that page, that NAV link becomes bold. It was exceeding the margin once bolded due to the number of letters in the word.

Thanks for the reply. The page that is presenting the problem is the “Garden” page. The NAV bar margins are too wide on all pages. I don’t know where the command is to make it bigger…whether it’s a margin call or a width call.
