    (Note:
   This site is a redesign that has not been launched yet so the index.html file
   of the old site will open when you click any link to “home”.)
 * I’ve set up a child theme of the Twenty-Eleven theme. I am not using the theme’s
   navigation bar. I am “trying” to make mine work with css. I have background image
   and then used css to create the links.
 * I’m having trouble getting my navigation to work in these browsers (latest versions):
   IE, FF, Chrome, & Opera. At this point, it doesn’t work in IE9. When you mouse
   over any of the nav buttons, they all go to the home page.
 * CSS is not my strong suit. By far. I tweaked the positioning, etc. but I’m stuck.
   Advise appreciated!

 * mornin traceable,
 * I am familiar with your theme. I even recently found a bug yesterday. Anyways,
   you should be careful on editing your web pages. The WP CMS is best edited via
   the admin panel. Appearance, Menu from the dashboard should show your child theme.
   If you login to WP and do not find your child theme showing up as a menu option…
   something is missing. I+We all tend to click on all pages and edit the links 
   of new articles with titles.
 * If you want to edit the pages via an HTML editor…WordPress is not designed this
   way, per say. In your case, you are converting a website from old to the new 
   WP. To add a new page to the new WP Contents, Login, find pages and click on 
   add new.
    Next you wanna make sure click on the HTML tag , upper left, and insert
   your HTML inside the dialog box. Here is where you manage menu headings and menu
   links.
 * Technical Note: WP uses functions to load its’ documents in PHP and it looks 
   like… twentyeleven_content_nav( ‘nav-below’ );
 * I noticed also you were working with images and mouse over. I found a link that
   may help ya out and here is the code…
 * ‘
    <IMG src=”before.gif” onmouseover=”this.src = ‘after.gif’;”> ‘

 * These Dynamic Links are best when using images.
 * CSS uses anchor:link anchor:visited anchor:hover to change background images 
   but I have not seen it work utilizing “CSS”. “Image rollovers” works utilizing
   Javascript! Psst… don’t tell anyone …its top secret… 😉
 * anyways gl

 * possibly a `z-index` problem – the main header image link seems to cover the 
   menu buttons.
 * not a WordPress problem.

 * Tested and found to be true that this is not a WordPress problem. Thanks.
