I am a WordPress newbie. My goal is to re-create our current website using WordPress. The website is: http://www.happytogetherpreschool.com. It's a pretty straight forward site, and I will be adding some additional functions like a blog, some video clips, and a picture gallery. My first challenge: I've looked through the forums and FAQs, and I didn't see a way to duplicate the wavy green lines we use throughout the site (including behind our horizontal menu). Obviously, no existing theme will offer this. How do I go about re-creating this in WordPress?
Thanks for the help!
The horizontal menu would be out as an unordered list - you'd need to ensure the height of the ul element is as tall as the thickest part of the line. You would then use a graphic of the green line for the background of the ul element.
Set the anchors in the list items that make up the menu to have no background specified, then on hover and for the current page, specify a background of a tiled 50% transparent white .png graphic - this will overlay the green line to give the pale green colour.
You will probably be able to use an existing theme as a starting point, but with a bit of customisation you'd be able to keep (and in some areas improve on) the existing design.
