    Hi. Can anyone help me figure out what I did that makes the horizontal lines no longer match up between the background and the header/menu section of my website?

    http://snakeriverfund.org/blog

    I was trying to insert someone’s suggested code in the header.php and stylesheet.css pages to make drop down menus.

    That didn’t work, so I restored the original code, but the horizontal line between dark brown and light brown no longer match up. I know nothing about code, so I’m not sure what else may have changed to mess it up or how to fix it.

    (Still not sure how to make drop-down menus, either, so if anyone has any suggestions on that, too…)

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    To re-align the header image with the background change this area of code in your css:

    #menu ul {
    list-style: none outside none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 37px 23px 0 0;
    }
    to this
    #menu ul {
    list-style: none outside none;
    margin: -1px 0 0;
    padding: 0 23px 0 0;
    }

    It looks like you are using WordPress 2.9.2? That’s really outdated and a security risk – you really should update ASAP!

    That would also address the menu question, as dropdown menus were not supported until 3.0:

    RebeckaH, thank you. I’ll try that.

    WPyogi, I appreciate the heads up on the WP version. I tried to upgrade, but I’m getting a fatal flaw due to memory, so I’ve emailed GoDaddy to see if they can help with that. (I did see a similar forum question but the answer required editing files in the root foler, and I’m not sure how to get into the database files through Go Daddy yet.)

    Looking forward to fixing the menus when I can, so I’ll definitely be using that link

    What a great community of people around here! I can’t believe how kind and helpful so many are!
