  Hello, I have optimized the design of my blog reading deeply this forum, their responses and questions from other users. Thank you very much you and the translator of Google.
  But now I am stuck and I can not solve a problem. I would be very grateful to anyone who could give me a help with several concerns. The first:

  1 – Menu Categories: I would like a blue bar to go behind the text. I also wish to change the text color of the menu.

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

  You have some strange positioning going on.

  Try deleting this from your custom CSS:

  #header {
  background:url('http://tardesgrises.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/1.jpg') no-repeat;
  height:235px;
  text-align:right;
  width:970px;
  padding:120px 0 0;
  }
  
  .menu ul li {
  float:left;
  font-size:100%;
  padding-right:15px;
  top:30px;
  }
  
  #header-left {
  width:700px!important;
  }
  
  .menu ul ul {
  left:0;
  position:absolute;
  top:0;
  width:auto;
  }

  And adding this instead:

  #header {
  background:url('http://tardesgrises.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/1.jpg') no-repeat;
  position:relative;
  height:354px;
  padding:0;
  }
  
  #header-center {
  display:none;
  }
  
  #header-image-link {
  position: absolute;
  top: 120px;
  }
  
  #header-left,#header-right {
  position:absolute;
  bottom:10px;
  }
  
  #header-right {
  right:0;
  }
  
  .widget_search {
  margin:0;
  }
  
  .menu ul li {
  background:yellow;
  float:left;
  font-size:100%;
  padding:10px 10px 0;
  }

  And replace “yellow” in the last part with the color you want.

  Hi, thanks for responding.
  I tried your suggestions but unfortunately did not work. Look:

  Do you have any ideas? regards
