I am having trouble with my CSS coding. I added a URL to the header, so that it returns to the home page when you click on it. Now, the "about" page is pushed down. How can I get it back up where it belongs?
My website is SoooBig.com.
The coding is:

What's this line in your HTML:
<a "="" href="http://www.sooobig.com"></a>
It's invalid and it's also what's pushing your menu item down.

Thanks! I was trying to make the banner clicky, so that it would redirect to the home page. Do you know how/where to add that? I was trying to use:
right before the image source code.
Also - Do you have any idea how I might add a "Home" page (tab), to the left of the "About" tab?
Thanks!

Oops. I was trying to use that (without the asterisks).
You'll need to wrap the img tag in header.php probably: but you ought to look at your html very hard first. It has over 80 errors in it. Some of them are quite serious:

Given you have a 'Home' entry in your menu, is your question about creating a home page still valid? Or have you sorted that one to your satisfaction?

I figured out the Home in the menu.
I think I corrected the main error. Are there others that are going to cause me problems?
You have some really fundamental HTML errors in your page (follow the link to the validator in my earlier post). When browsers get invalid code, they try to guess what you meant. The trouble is that they all guess differently (for the doctype you're using), so you're potentially risking serious cross-browser issues.
On the other hand, you may get away with it. There's no way of telling because you've broken the implicit contract spelt out in the first line of your HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">I.e., your html is not XHTML 1.0 Transitional, so browsers are not bound by the contract and can render your code in any way they see fit.
I'd work my way through the errors and fix them. You may prefer just to check that your pages all look OK in every browser you care about and not worry about the HTML errors. But bear in mind you'll need to test every type of page in every type of browser if you want to be sure.
Your call, really.
