  I have been successful at changing the rollover color on the menu EXCEPT for the nested catagories that are included in the drop down. They are black. I have looked at the original style sheet but can not find the lines to change. The link to my site is http://www.hrintuitive.com

  Thank you!!

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

  I want to do the same thing … I think.

  I want to be able to put a border around my menu, have a thin divider between each menu item, and change the background color of both the menu and the drop down menu items …

  here is my site http://www.cakenutrition.com

  but I do not know what to change and I’ve been messing with css for about 3 hrs now :(

  Try this for making the background one color and then the lettering another:

  #access li:hover > a,#access ul ul :hover > a {
  background:#33cccc;
  color:#ffffff;
  }

  oh sorry, I’ll start a new thread, but for reference and a general question, would I just copy and paste the last post’s code into my blank CSS page (I have nothing on my css page yet)?

  Yes, just copy the CSS into your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page.
