[Theme:Twenty Eleven] Dropdown Menu/Post template issue

You guys are sure a great fast responsive community

Ok first the stuff i think i fixed, the date “Posted on September 21st”, which was all over the place was fixed when i changed the css in the following from absolute to static for position see below
Before

.singular .entry-header .entry-meta {
	position: absolute;
	top: 0;
	left: 0;
}

After

.singular .entry-header .entry-meta {
	position: static;
	top: 0;
	left: 0;
}

Works, though i wanted to delete position property alltogether but when I did, the parent css style overided my child theme css , so i had to keep it in there and just changed it to static, hopefully it won’t break anything later on 🙁
I fixed the Edit link in the same manner,
BEFORE

.singular .entry-meta .edit-link a {
	bottom: auto;
	left: 50px;
	position: absolute;
	right: auto;
	top: 80px;
}

AFTER

.singular .entry-meta .edit-link a {
	bottom: auto;
	left: 50px;
	position: static;
	right: auto;
	top: 80px;
}

Now back to the drop-down, I followed the above poster’s advice to use Firebug, and also change z-index, it didnt fix the drop down problem.

Update: I’ve fixed this up, its ridicously ameateur compared to you CSS masters and everyday coders, i’m just starting wordpress as well so correct me if i am doing something so well amateur. I used firebug and played around disabling/enabling position property

Fix for drop down box:
BEFORE

/* BEGIN FIX DROP DOWN */
#branding {
	border-top: 2px solid #bbb;
	padding-bottom: 10px;
	position: absolute;
	z-index: 2;
}
/* END FIXED DROP DOWN */

AFTER

/* BEGIN FIX DROP DOWN */
#branding {
	border-top: 2px solid #bbb;
	padding-bottom: 10px;
	position: static;
	z-index: 2;
}
/* END FIXED DROP DOWN */

But above will break how your search bar is located so do the following below to fix search bar placement

What i changed here is the margin-top property, and right property rest is as is, for the full code see below paste bin

#branding #searchform {
background-color: white;
display: block;
margin-top: 195px;
position: absolute;
right: 12.6%;

Tadaaa! see example @ http://newsite.sidmun.com

Since twentyeleven is a very popular theme and Im sure there will be others who will be attempting the same journey as I am, I have copied my whole style to help out anyone as needed. Provide feedback and if something breaks or you have a rather better version of my above mess 😀

Update: hmm it seems the date being out of place or the Edit button being out of place wasn’t an issue, i think its natural..i think?
