    This is my blog: http://www.journeyofanomadicfamily.com

    Problem 1: The menu in the side panel won’t allow me enough space for my drop down selection. When you click Europe there are two countries missing from the bottom and I have more countries to add.

    Problem 2: The text size of my site title sometimes fits and sometimes doesn’t fit in the sidepanel. I have the current size fixed to 33 with a base font size of 77. When on my PC this looks too small but when I’m on my laptop it’s too big and doesn’t fit.

    First the bad news….For screens that are a smaller than others, and with the amount of submenu items you have and plan to add, this theme might now be the one for you. The concept for Seasonal was to be a personal blogging theme for sites with smaller menus (which is associated with personal sites). Plus, the design for this theme has a fixed sidebar column that is not coded to scroll. You might want to consider the Twenty Fifteen theme which has some similar design layout style as Seasonal, except you can scroll the side column on it. You can also add a background photo to the side column in Twenty Fifteen.

    However, even if I shrink my browser window down to a smaller screen size, I can still access all of your menu links even when the submenu for Europe is expanded. What are you viewing your site in and resolution??

    For problem #2, I would recommend separating your site title words, so they float to a new line as the screen gets smaller.

    Thanks for the quick response!

    1) I’ve changed the site title to separate words which has worked nicely but seems to have made my menu bar even smaller! I can now not see past Romania in Europe.
    2) Is it possible to code the bar to scroll? I like this theme 🙂
    3) I am viewing it in Chrome and resolution is 1366 x 768. Which is coming up at recommended settings for this laptop.

    There is a method, but it adds a scroll bar to the right of the column. Add this custom CSS to the Additional CSS tab in the customizer:

    .sidebar {
    overflow-y: scroll;
    }

    No worries…. I’m assuming everything is OK then? If so, we can then set this topic as “Resolved”.

    Also, thank you for the comment about the theme; it’s definitely been popular.
