Adding a site menu to wordpress blog

    I have a standardized menu that I use on all my web pages.(viadecristo.org). I would like to use this same menu in the header section of my wordpress blog portion of my site. (viadecristo.org/blog.
    I am using version 3.5.1 and the default twentytwelve style I have been able to modify the header.php file to get my menu to show up but I have this large gap in the table structure. It looks as though there is something else trying to be inserted into the table for my menus.
    The menu is stored in a file elsewhere on the web site and brought into the header section with the following code:
    <?php $path = “http://viadecristo.org&#8221;;
    require ($path.”/includes/menu-boardermaster09.inc”);
    ?>
    This works fine on all my other pages. I included it in the header .PHP file like this:

    <header id=”masthead” class=”site-header” role=”banner”>
    <hgroup>
    <?php $path = “http://viadecristo.org&#8221;;
    require ($path.”/includes/menu-boardermaster09.inc”);
    ?>

    </hgroup>
    Can somebody suggest another place to look for the hearder Size information?

    They Menu I am trying to incorporate, is constructed as a table with 4 columns and 6 rows. the second cell in the second row spans 2 columns and 3 rows and contains a logo image that is 450px X 136px
    Upon further investigation, I believe the problem lays in the style.css file. and somehow is associated with an image tag.

    If I remove the style.css file from the theme, The menu will display properly, course the page doesn’t but the menu is working. If I remove the image from the cell that is set up to span 2 columns and 3 rows and just allow the background color to be displayed, again the menu table displays properly.

    After looking at the way the menu is showing up on the web site, it looks like the cell 1 and cell 4 of row two are aligned with the bottom of the image cell in the center.

    So now the question seems to be, How or what do I change in the style.css file to fix the issue?

    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    So after several days f poking around, I found the entry in the Style.css file that fixed my problem. it was located at the top of the file, there was a statement that set the verticle-alignment to baseline. after I corrected this, I was able to get the menus working.
