 * I’m trying to create a navigation bar that will have drop downs when hovered.
   Currently, all of the top level links are working according to my CSS, but none
   of the links that should be drop downs are appearing. I’ve also tested that my
   navigation is working with the menu I have set up in the backend, so I’m not 
   sure why it isn’t working. Here is the link to the website: [http://illuminousmarketing.net/EID/](http://illuminousmarketing.net/EID/)
 * As you can see, I’m also having an issue with the centering of my page wrapper.
   For some reason, Margin: 0 auto; isn’t working. I’m a WP novice, so any help 
   that can be given would be much appreciated. I’ve searched through the codex 
   for answers to these issues, but haven’t found my remedy yet.

 * Isn’t it because your submenu links are white, on white background?

 * Andrew, thank you for the quick reply. It wasn’t because I have white on white
   background, but it was because I had an extra # in front of my hex codes.
 * Now the drop downs area appearing, but the problem is that they don’t stay there
   to hover over and click on them. Any ideas on that?
 * Also, any idea why my margins are working properly? ex: margin: auto 0;

 * General tip: Always worth validating your code if you’re stuck [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Filluminousmarketing.net%2FEID%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Filluminousmarketing.net%2FEID%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0)
