This is a nice tutorial that should give you a good overview of the process. It is something best suited to someone with experience working with the php files and customization of WordPress / themes.

Did you get this settled? It looks pretty similar to the demo of the theme to me right now.

Have you contacted your host? Is there anyone else that has access to your site that might have made some updates that could have caused an error?

I believe the code would be something along the lines of:

.main-navigation a:active,
.main-navigation a:focus,
.main-navigation a:hover,
.main-navigation li:hover > a {
    background: #5a86a8;
}

(replace the “#5a86a8” with whatever dark blue / hex code you’d like to use there)

Where would it normally be placed, underneath the ‘lola and grace’ and above ‘campaign video FW 2015’?

What’s the process for putting in the code? Are you putting it in the WYSIWYG or a custom field or…?

How are you inputting your social media links into your theme? (Is there a widget or something built in?)

Hypothetically, you wouldn’t want to include your own domain in the list because that isn’t where you want the link to be connected to – you want it to go away from your site so something like http://yourbackyardoasis.net/twitter.com would give you a 404.

You would want to do something like twitter.com/user/backyardoasis (or whatever your link/handle is).

I’m not sure what you mean in wanting to change the white background versus the periphery background (by periphery background, are you referring to the teal on each side?)

For the menu items, the menu itself is a ul, and each item is a list item (li) with a link (anchor tag). Depending on what state you’d like to shift the colour for, you would want to highlight that appropriate item. Keep in mind that WP also has class names for selecting “current menu item” etc. that you might want to adjust the styling for as well.
