Advice on tweaking classic theme

a general layou – you will have to play with it
header.php
below header stuff add something like

<div id="navbar">
	<ul id="nav">
			<li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
			<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
		</ul>
	</div>

then in stylesheet add something like

#navbar {
	width: 680px;
	float: left;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	}

#nav {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	}

#nav ul {
	float: left;
	list-style: none;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	}

#nav li {
	float: left;
	list-style: none;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	}

you can style the links further with hover and whatever

I just sneaked a peak – wow the sidebar tabs are different!
