   I'm trying to edit the global nav bar below the header. On this page it's the bar that contains the "about" link: http://www.nine-5.com/.

   Is there a way to add text there instead of, or in addition, to links?

   I'm sorry, but I'm not that familiar with CSS or php yet. Any "simple, step by step" information you can provide is appreciated.

   Great design!!

   Thanks,

   --Mark

   It very much depends on your theme but have a look at sidebar.php.

   Thanks. I'm using the veryplaintxt theme. And I checked out the sidebar.php file and believe you're right. I found this code:

   <?php if ( !is_home() || is_paged() ) { // Displays a home link everywhere except the home page ?>
   <li id="home-link">
   <h3>" title="<?php echo wp_specialchars(get_bloginfo('name'), 1) ?>"><?php _e('‹ Home', 'veryplaintxt') ?></h3>

   Now I have to figure out how to manipulate or change this to do what I want. Does anyone have any advice? I never edited "php" code. Is it worth buying or downloading a "php" editor to do this?

   Don't buy a PHP editor. PHP files are really just text files. In fact, you can edit them with Notepad if you'd like. If you'd prefer something with syntax highlighting you can download something free like Notepad++ so don't worry about buying anything.
