 * I’m completely new to WP. The first thing I want to do is either make the menu
   items appear in the centre or right aligned instead of default left. Would I 
   have to create a child theme for this? I tried playing with the “float” & “position”
   options in those mentioned in style.css : all “#menu” but guess the change has
   to be done in <div>. I hardly know any coding so please help.

 * you should give the URL of your website, so people can help you. Nobody is going
   to install that theme and try to change the CSS 🙂

 * You would need to create a Child Theme or since it’s just CSS changes, you could
   use a [Custom CSS](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/)
   plugin.
 * Centring the navigation would be more difficult.
    To centre the navigation as
   a whole, you’d need to use CSS and set a width on it, along with [margin: 0 auto;](http://bluerobot.com/web/css/center1.html).
 * The width is the problem here. Your menu is prone to change in width, as menu
   items are renamed, added or removed.
 * Aligning the menu right would be a lot easier, as you need only apply [float: right;](http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float.asp)
   to the navigation menu.
 * The CSS selectors for the menu should be;
 *     ```
       .home #header #mainmenu
       ```

 * [@baszer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baszer/) : I’m just experimenting
   now with Instant WP on my PC so I don’t have a link to share.
 * [@andrew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew/) : Thank you. But would
   you know what exactly I have to type in the custom CSS field? Since there are
   too many files in this theme and I’m confused what has to be mentioned as “right”.
   I shall install the plugin now and know how to use that for now 🙂 Thanks again
   for the prompt reply!

 * Thanks. I will try to check deeper. Guess this was not a good start to my WP 
   learning! 🙁
