 * Hi there,
 * How can I reduce the space between the main menu items? In order for the horizontal
   menu items and logo to fit on one line I have to reduce the font to 11 but prefer
   style of a larger font. I’ve tried playing with custom css but haven’t found 
   correct solution.
 * Thanks in advance for the help!

 * It’s not live yet… 🙁
    I have a logo in the upper left-hand corner and then 6
   menu items to the right. I want to decrease the space between the menu items.

 * If your theme has a built-in custom CSS option, use it; otherwise, get a [custom CSS plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css)
   and put:
 *     ```
       #topmenu ul li {
       	padding: 5px 2px;
       }
       ```
