Hi AnnieM,
Sorry you’re having trouble with your menu. The first thing you will want to look at is the CSS errors:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fannmariedavis.com%2F&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&vextwarning=&lang=en
Once those are corrected, try viewing your site again in Internet Explorer. Don’t forget to refresh the page and clear your browser cache if necessary.
Here’s some more information on troubleshooting and fixing CSS issues:

I’m not a coder so I can’t do line by line fixes. I used firebug to get the child theme from http://www.blackframemedia.com and dreamweaver to change the colors and font sizes and sidebar.
Also, I don’t understand why if the validater is showing problems with the theme and child theme, why are only the static pages having problems with IE and not with the blog and portfolio pages?
Hi Annie,
I know cleaning up CSS can be overwhelming, but it’s the best place to start when you’re having browser compatibility issues such as this. Browser bugs can be difficult to diagnose, it could be one small bit of code on the page or in the CSS that can cause an issue. Another option is to try changing themes.
Good luck with getting this sorted out.
