   I made a child theme from the twenty eleven theme and have made great progress in customizing it so far. Great fun, actually. One thing I am stumped on is substituting a plugin menu (Dropdown Menu Widget by Matt Shay) in lieu of the default WP 2011 theme menus.

   I realize I have to create a custom menu structure and use that as my Primary menu, but how to dispense with the default CSS/Javascript completely and just pop in <?php shailan_dropdown_menu(); ?> ??

   I'm guessing I need to modify both styles.css and header.php but where and how? I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

   Thanks for any leads!

   It'd be nice if we could delete our posts. I dropped this approach and just did heavy CSS mods to the 2011 theme.

   Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. Create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.
