 * On my website, the font is shaky when I hover over it. There was no hover tag
   for the submenu items so I created one but still no results.
 * My mock up site is khosravimortgage.pinkraffle.com
 * Any help would be great!

 * The problem is that in the non-hovered state, the link elements have a padding-
   top of 5px, but in the hovered state, the link elements have a padding of 0px,
   so it looks like the menu text jumps up 5px when you hover over it.
 * You can try adding this rule through a child theme or using a CSS plugin like
   Jetpack or [Custom CSS Manager](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/).
 *     ```
       .new-container ul.menu li:hover ul.sub-menu li a:hover {
           padding-top: 5px;
       }
       ```

 * Where (i.e., which file or plugin) did you add the CSS? I’m having a hard time
   finding it.

 * The theme has a separate php file css for some reason and it’s called index.css.

 * OK, _do not edit the theme files directly_. If the theme ever gets upgraded because
   of a security patch, feature enhancement, or because of a WordPress upgrade, 
   then your changes will be lost. If the theme does not have a Custom CSS option,
   then install a CSS plugin and add the CSS to that.
