 * So, I’ve watched a video about menus, and I see that in the video, a drop-down
   appears when category pages were nested inside pages. Yet when I do that, I don’t
   get a drop down.
 * Is there some extra code, such as js, that he added that I didn’t?

 * I’m sorry. I have 4 categories of stories (audio, video, etc) and I want them
   to drop down from the “Stories” page.

 * Okay, so you are using a theme – this one:
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: The HTML5 Reset Blank Theme ORIGINAL
       Theme URI: http://html5reset.org
       Description: A style-free theme to get you started on an HTML5-based WordPress theme of your own.
       Author: Monkey Do!
       Author URI: http://monkeydo.biz
       Version: 1
       */
       ```
   
 * One problem is that that theme isn’t released under the [GPL license](http://wordpress.org/about/license/)–
   which means that we really can’t provide support here – it’s WP/forums policy,
   sorry :(.
 * If you want to use a similar “blank” theme that is supported here, you could 
   look at [Toolbox](http://wordpress.org/themes/toolbox) or [BlankSlate](http://wordpress.org/themes/blankslate).
 * I did look at your site, though, and it looks like those menus do need CSS… If
   you want to pursue that, a good CSS forum is [http://csscreator.com](http://csscreator.com).

 * Dude, I really need your help. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing.

 * First, I’m female :)! And as much as I’d like to help, I gotta go by the rules
   here.
 * But let’s back-up – are you moving a site from someplace else to WP? A “blank”
   theme might not be the best way to go if you don’t know quite a bit of HTML and
   CSS (and how WP works).

 * sorry, dudette.
 * i’m moving it from a static site to wordpress…i know css and html, but my main
   problem is that i made two pages using a single style sheet, and some code seems
   to be overlapping and “fighting” with the wordpress code.
 * For context: The site SHOULD look like this:

 * and i need somebody to comb over the code with me to determine why everything
   looks, well, terrible.

 * That’s most likely CSS – and even with a theme that’s supported here, extensive
   custom work really is outside the scope of these forums. If you want to hire 
   someone, you could post a job here:

 * Personally, I’d start with more of a theme than “blank” – and work from there
   modifying it as you need to… Suffusion is a theme that has TONS of options, layouts
   and is easily customized –
