    Hi Milo;

    I think that your templates are terrific.

    I am attempting to set up two Blogs using WordPress. I really like Munch and Fog for their visual impact and I think that these themes nicely complement the flavour of the sites. A great discovery!

    I am busy trying to learn enough CSS so that I can be independent in implementing a few modifications, but it is a daunting task. I apparently know just enough to be dangerous.

    The first thing that occurred to me is that it might be helpful if I only had to find my way around one theme, so I would like to use the Fog theme for both of them, but introduce the Munch graphics to one of them to differentiate each.

    I think that in time I can figure out how to migrate the Much graphic elements to Fog, For testing it I just moved the bg.jpg of the header, and it needs some work.

    When I do this it is obvious because of where the navigation lives that I will need to modify the nav titles. I figured out how to modify the font size, but after a few hours I am still stymied as to how to change the colour which will improve the readability issue caused by where they land on the graphic.

    As well, although I could probably use the “Pages”, I would really like to ad another nav title to directly access (in one step) a page. Trying to accomplish this has confounded me too.

    I suspect that you have probably already provided guidance to a number of lost souls like myself on these matters. If it exists, could you please point me to anywhere where there may be a few hints to help me along the path? It could be a while before I get my CSS skills up to speed and I am looking forward to beginning my adventure in Blogging.

    Thank you so much.

    Cheers,

    Ray

    Try this to learn some css:

    * CSS Basics.com
    * HTML Dog's CSS Beginner Tutorial
    * HTML.net's CSS Tutorial
    * W3's CSS School
    * Stylegala's CSS Reference

    Navmenu for munch is at style.css (line 9)

    #topmenu ul li a:link, #topmenu ul li a:visited {
    border-bottom:0 solid #FFFFFF;
    display:block;
    font-size:12px;
    line-height:11px;
    margin:0 5px 0 0;
    padding:5px 15px 2px 5px;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    }
