    Hey guys, I'm having trouble with creating a vertical menu on my Wordpress homepage site. The menu is currently horizontal across the top of the page. I would like it to be vertical, Sort of like a table, but with the menu options centered and the font bigger. I will provide the css code for the website in an attachment. The url of the site is importtheater.com if you would like to look at the current menu. Thanks.

    Never put menus into tables - that used to work but isn't the way things are done anymore.

    Use an unordered list and css to style it. There are lots of tutorials and examples online - check out alistapart for good examples.

    Is your problem more that you don't know how to place the menu on your site?

    Also, CSS without the markup it's applied to is gibberish.

    When you say the markup, do you mean the PHP files or HTML files?

    Think about it... HTML, Hypertext Markup Language...

    ... though since the entire point of PHP is to output HTML...

    Thats what I though, but it's Wordpress, I only have access to the PHP files. Unless you know of a way to access HTML through Wordpress PHP files.

    The output of PHP files is html

    Most browsers, "view source"?

    Though being turdpress it's going to be so knee deep in asshat unnecessary code-bloat like excess DIV for nothing, classes for nothing TITLE for nothing, scripting for nothing, that finding what your CSS is targeting is gonna be a PITA.

    Though if we could get a link to a live copy of the site, tools like firebug or dragonfly could be used to wade through the turdpress BS.

    Firebug is BEAUTIFUL! I've figured it out. Thanks everyone and deathshadow for the recommendation.
