  I have a menu “Team Friendship” and I want to link each submenu to a site, so it will be fairly long. I’d like to drop down menu to be as long as it needs, so the length of the longest site name I will have. I don’t have Custom Design purchased, and I do not feel like I need to. From the info i’ve briefly gather there should be something I can put in Custom CSS but I cant get it myself, I’ve been doing trial and error for hours now.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can experiment with CSS for free, but you cannot apply it publicly unless you pay for the Custom Design upgrade.

  Shouldn’t I be able to at least see it in my preview?

  Yes, you can add code in the CSS editor and preview the changes you would be able to make if you had the upgrade. But your actual issue is that you have typed “DEAD|MACHINE” with a space after each letter, so the theme interprets each letter as a separate word and adds a line break where appropriate. If you had the upgrade you could change the max length of menu items as well as the letter spacing (instead of resorting to entering spaces).
