 * I’m pretty new to WP. I’d like to change the width of the dropdown menus without
   the addition of another plugin. Currently, the menus are too narrow, causing 
   text to go over two lines. Can anyone help?

 * Do you know css?
 * You can edit your style.css file. But first, you’ll need to know what is the 
   class name or id for the dropdown menu.
    If you use Firebung (Firefox plugin),
   you can see what is the name of the dropdown menu class or id.
 * After getting YOUR-NAME with Firebug, go to your css file, and find something
   like:
 * .YOUR-NAME ul or .YOUR-NAME or #YOUR-NAME ul or #YOUR-NAME and edit the width
   attribute.
 * I think that will solve the problem
