Thanks for this. The logo changes worked fine.
However, the menu box CSS code didn’t work. The drop shadow remains and the box is not centred. Here is the code (I think I followed the instructions correctly:

.navbar .navbar-inner {
    border: 0 none;
    padding-left: 35px;
    z-index: 200;
}

It seems the text dropped into the post was corrupted, causing the strange formatting. Now corrected. Thanks for the tips and help

Yes, followed your suggestions, still the same.

Resolved, it was a YouTube timing delay.

Oops! Everything’s OK. Just a very slow connection gave the impression of shabby formatting, but not so, all is well.

Yes, an astute observation, when I activated the Yoast SEO plugin this problem started, it seems.
Now, here’s the code from header.php, and as I’m not a code person, it seems considerably more complicated that yours above:

<title>
            <?php
            /*
             * Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed.
             */
            global $page, $paged;
            wp_title('|', true, 'right');
            // Add the blog name.
            bloginfo('name');
            // Add the blog description for the home/front page.
            $site_description = get_bloginfo('description', 'display');
            if ($site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ))
                echo " | $site_description";
            // Add a page number if necessary:
            if ($paged >= 2 || $page >= 2)
                echo ' | ' . sprintf('Page %s', max($paged, $page));
            ?>
        </title>

Do I replace with your simpler version?

Thanks, did this.
A bit of fiddling around with home page links/pics, but I’ll get there!

Thanks Amado, your tip worked perfectly.
Now a trick question for you; assuming I only want hyperlinks in body text of posts and pages underlined and not underlined in the right panel under “recent posts/categories/etc”, is there a quick and easy way to do this?

There is an option to make it a static page. Will this change the situation, and what are the implications of making it static?

Just found it, no it’s not a static page.

Forgive me, I’ve seen once where the option is for a static page, but can’t find it right now under wp-admin.
But I did look at the Menu option, and it looks promising regarding my question…

Thanks, your code worked just fine.
I looked at the page with Firebug and there was no code which resembled yours. There was some continued reference to borders but so many it was confusing!
Can you refer me to a source something like WordPress coding for dummies?

Very happy that I received the ‘paranoid’ label — you have assured me that such conspiracies are not common. And so I’m guaranteed (almost) I won’t be hacked when I launch my site. Thanks for the feedback.
