Hello!

Here is how the site looks like for me:

http://d.pr/i/Pcp5

But I think I know why is this happening. I have noticed that when you check the site from other browsers (where the site is not showing up as it should), you are not logged in to WordPress Dashboard. Try to log in to your site from one of those other web browsers, and I bet that the site will look like fine. 🙂

Now, here is the trick: I have checked your site’s source code, and it suggests that you have some kind of caching plugin installed. Those plugins work in a way that they make a sort of snapshot of every page of your site, and if a visitor comes, the plugin shows the visitor that snapshot, because it is faster. Depending on your settings, those snapshots can be pretty old, in some cases even a day old. Those plugins recreate those snapshots (the cache) when you are modifying something to the page’s content. They have no way telling that you are changing the theme’s css rules, thus, they are not showing the actual state of the site. The trick with the login is: usually most caching plugins are set up so if someone has login access to the site, than that person must be someone important, so no matter what, he should get the most up to date data from the site, so for the logged in users there is no caching going on. The other reason is, while your site could have 1000 or even more visitors (who are not logged in), usually there is a little amount of users with login privileges, so it is not noticable if the cache is not applied to them.

My advice is, it is completely unnecessary to use a caching plugin until you have that amount of visitors that your site is getting slow. And for the time period when you tweaking something to your site, it is the best to turn off caching for everyone, because this way you can ensure that in every second you are seeing the actual and real state of the site.

So deactivate the caching plugin, or click on recreate/rebuild cache.
Let me know if that solved the problem.

Hello!

First of all, I would like to suggest that you make your changes inside a child theme, this way you can ensure that if you update your theme or WordPress, your custom modifications wont be deleted. You can find a good article on that here: codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Here is the necessary CSS code for you to mode the social icons to the same row as the nav menu:

#header {
	position: relative;
}

#header .social-icons {
	display: inline-block;
	position: absolute;
	top: 98px;
	right: 2px;
}

If you want to move the social icons to the header, just modify the top value in the above code.

Regarding the nav bar color, you can change that with this code:

.menu{
	background-color: #444;
}

WordPress by default marks the current page, which is in your case the home page, its effect will be more visible when you add more menu items. If you want to change the color of the current menu item, you should use this:

.menu .current_page_item a{
	background-color: #333;
	color: #fff;
}

For changing the color when you move your cursor above the menu item, you should use this (note that here I have written the now actual colors, so if paste these as is, you wont see any color change):

.menu a:hover{
	background-color: #444;
	color: #fff;
}

I hope this helps.
If you have any more questions, just drop a line here, I am happy to help.

Yes, it is possible.

Hello!

Your thinking is good, you would have to choose a theme that you like, and create a child theme for that, and make there the necessary css settings. The tricky part is the book content itself. You should create a custom post type for books, which can incorporate the necessary custom data types which are related to a book, and you will have to create a specific php file that lists those kind of post types. I am sorry to tell you that as far as I know, there is no quick method. You have plugins that can create the necessary post types for books, so the saving the data in WordPress is solved, but for displaying the books, you will need php coding.

I am here to help you.
