So, I think I've simply messed up my CSS so what I'm trying to do is not working. I want to put some space between my logo and menu items but every time i change padding and margins in my style sheet it affects the spacing between the menu items themselves. I can't seem to control the positioning of my Logo as well. I tried the #menu.container argument as Vaska suggested but that made the menu explode off the page so to speak. (stretched all the way to the right side of the page regardless of pixel values)

Also, my font list for my menu headings is helvetica neue, helvetica, verdana, sans serif. When my friend checks the site on IE the typeface defaults to verdana or the generic sans serif but gets alot heavier. Is there a way to make sure the font stays light when it defaults to the backup typefaces? I have the font-weight argument in there but I guess that doesn't really do the job...

Ha sorry. I can't control the position of my logo. i want to make space between the bottom of the logo and the menu section but no matter what i change in the CSS it doesn't change.

I also have a very minor problem with the weight of the backup typefaces but it's not that important right now so nevermind....

First of all, you need to be more patient. We aren't in here 24 hours a day helping...we need to eat and sleep and work real jobs as well. Please read the forum rules if you haven't yet, thanks.

This is what you have for your logo:

  1. <a href='http://massos.net/'><img src='http://massos.net/files/thomassignature_sm_blk.jpg' width='228' height='97' /></a>

This is how I would do this (but there are an infinite amount of ways to do this):

  1. <div id='logo'><a href='http://massos.net/'><img src='http://massos.net/files/thomassignature_sm_blk.jpg' width='228' height='97' /></a></div>

And then, style that up accordingly...rules like...

  1. #logo { margin-bottom: zzzpx; }
  2. #logo a { ... }

Brilliant, Thanks Vaska. Agreed on the patience but I wasn't targeting that at only the moderators - Just thought this was community forum...

It is a community forum. And everybody helps as they can. But, tapping your finger posting notes asking where is the help is not very fair to the community.
