Hi. this is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.
All the changes I have made to the theme were done in the CSS file. That shouldn’t upset the search engines, and it also is pretty safe WRT the templates, too, since you are not touching any PHP.
Cool Corevettes!!! 5.7 lit. nice!
