# separator between menu items

 * I’ve been searching a lot but nothing has been really effective on my question.
   So here it is:
 * How can I add a vertical character separating the menu items? Such as this:
 *  Home | Products | Services | Contacts
 * I tried a lot of things but some undesired things happen (menu becomes a vertical
   list; all separators appear together, right after all the gathered menu items;
   things lose their alignement)
 * So, I ask for your help on building “The Ultimate (and simple) Guide To Your 
   Vertical Character Separator Of Menu Items”
 * Thank you so much!

 * Add a CSS border left (or right) to each menu item and then remove that border
   on the first (or last) child using the first-child (or last-child) CSS pseudo
   selector.

   the other day for Twenty Eleven, it might help!
