Ok, thanks songdog. I think I got it to work.

What is the link to the web page?

I put the menu div before the header div, but it did not have any effect. Also, at some point, rolling over the button falls to change my cursor to a hand, and there is no rollover effect – everything stops functioning ) this was also the case before I changed the aforementioned order of the divs).

All I am doing is the using the WP template tag to call for the menu – it indeed shows the menu but the menu displays in various states non-functionality.

But it goes to page id 2, but the page contents don’t change. That’s my dilemma.

Amonon,
Could you firebug the code from that page and offer me a specific example of the new class I would create. Guess I”m not sure what attributes to assign to it.

Thank for the resource, and I’ll take a look.

But to try and short cut it, isn’t there a way I can point that menu link to the category archive “Drink”?

Or is that what the article above covers?

Ok, I put in the full url filepath and it works now, but shouldn’t it just be able to locate the image using the “images/your_image_file” structure?

Cais,
Here is a WP site I’m building https://sub.whoopdesign.com/

I followed your advice as per above for trying to change the background image on just this page https://sub.whoopdesign.com/?page_id=28 but instead I get just a blank background.

Could you advise me on what else I need to do.

Sorry, but I figured it out. There was a style in the CSS where I just had to add a “height=auto” parameter. Works like a charm now.

Yes, it was simply that I had to post the code in the “HTML” mode of the editor and not “Visual” – though the WP help file explicitly says to post the code right into the “Visual” editor.

I think I answered my own question as I was writing it above. I’m simply adding a div and style, and positioning it so it appears above the posts.

For those who care:
1. add a div tag, with your new content between the tags, to the index.php file
(Where you put the code within the index.php file depends on where you want the content to display. In my case i put the new div as the second div right after the opening body tag. There was already a div in the code the created the top area of the website, and I wanted my new content to come right after that).

2. create a style in the styles.css file to control the styling of the div tag.

Cais,
Do I add that to the style sheet and, if so, where? Or do I replace some other style in the sheet?

Well after poking around, I found and removed the code from the index.php file.

But is there simply a checkbox option somewhere in WordPress that I can turn that stuff on or off?
