 * Hi all, this is my first post, and I am a newbie to this foreign language of 
   html. I was wondering if any of you could give me some help on a couple issues
   I’m having.
 * First off, if you visit
    - [Hold ‘Em Authority](http://holdemauthority.com/blog/)
    - you’ll notice that my nav menu is on top of my background image that I just
      changed. I would like it to be in that white space below it, but don’t know
      how to get it down there.
    - Secondly, if you visit
    - [Hold ‘Em Authority](http://www.holdemauthority.com/)
    - , you’ll see that there is some excess text in the background. I don’t have
      any idea how to get rid of it, or why it’s even present on this site and not
      my other site. They are the same site, even though a different address is 
      used to get to both of them.
    - Any help would be much appreciated, and if you need any of the html or anything
      of that nature, feel free to ask.
    - -Joe

 * For this sort of thing we don’t talk HTML anymore, but rather CSS, which is a
   related yet completely separate tongue.
 * In your theme’s style.css (i.e. Stylesheet), look for the Horizontal Nav Menu
   section near the bottom, where you’ll find:
 * `#navmenu {`
 * `margin-top:0px;
    float:right; }
 * Play with the margin-top value to place the menu where you want it. Example:
 * `margin-top:50px;`
 * As for the excess text in background, could you specify where you’re seeing this?

 * Apparently the excess text has disappeared, which is just fine with me. I had
   already played with that margin-top thing, and it worked alright, however, it
   looks different in Mozilla as compared to IE.
 * Maybe I’ll just have to live with it, but if there’s any sort of suggestion to
   keep the nav menu in the same spot for both browsers, I’d appreciate it.

 * Thank you for the help, I think I’ve figured out a way to make the difference
   in position between Mozilla and IE unnoticable.
