Need help styling charity site please?

[mikehende]

Hey guys, here's our Charity site:

http://silent-angels.net/


I had 6 pages in the Nav bar all evenly spread out with equal distance between each page name, now I added a 7th page [Success Stories] and this automatically added a second row, I tried adjusting the margin and padding values but not getting all 7 pages to fit horizontally in one line in the Nav bar, please see CSS code below, any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Well a quick fix would be change your header2 li width.

Change:

#header2 li {width: 14%;
}

To

#header2 li {
    width: 150px;
}

Of course if you end up adding more menu items, you'll need to adjust that px setting.

Thank you very much! I have a few other styling to do on the new page, shall I post all questions here in this one thread or create new threads for each question?

[teedoff]

If they're different issues, a new thread might be best. Guess it really doesn't matter though.

[mikehende]

I think better I keep all things related to the site styling in one thread for future reference. Ok, please see this site here:

http://www.wishuponahero.com/browsewish/?sort=all

On our site, I created another page titled "Success Stories", I wish to use this page to post all causes we have helped in the past and wish to do listing in the same fashion as in the site above. What I am thinking is simply create a heading with the name of the cause eg. "Shane's Brain Surgery" then add a few lines of text below explaining Shane's predicament then use the [more] link to open up more text explaining how we were able to help Shane. I can create and style the Heading and text but how is the link to open up more paragraphs by clicking on the word "more" done please?

Or if anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears?
