Created a theme, but navigation isn’t working

    Please reference my WordPress custom theme build (still a work in progress) at http://www.bobtema.com/staging/

    My question simply is, why doesn’t my one navigation link, “About”, work? If you roll over it, the status bar on the bottom of your browser will indicate that it wants to go to a new page ID, but when you click on it, it goes nowhere. The nav item turns into it’s “visited” state, but you haven’t gone to any new page.

    Please advise.

    It’s linking to the Home page.

    But it goes to page id 2, but the page contents don’t change. That’s my dilemma.

    Your header (and its home link) is over-laying the About link

    I put the menu div before the header div, but it did not have any effect. Also, at some point, rolling over the button falls to change my cursor to a hand, and there is no rollover effect – everything stops functioning ) this was also the case before I changed the aforementioned order of the divs).

    All I am doing is the using the WP template tag to call for the menu – it indeed shows the menu but the menu displays in various states non-functionality.

    Under “pages” when you select your About page, what do you have listed under Attributes – Template? Seems to be that the template you are using for that page isn’t set up to display what you have intended.

    It’s your CSS that’s the problem. You need to limit the width of the header so that it doesn’t lie over the nav menu.

    Wow – your site looks a lot different in Firefox than ie.

    This might help too – This line
    <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    needs to be between the <head> and </head> tags
