  Hello,

  As you can see I have one two many categories on the menu/navigation bar… but by looking at it, it should fit… how can I make the spacing work so I can fit all in one line?

  Hi there, Given the constraints of the column width and the font size, the extra title won’t fit on the first line.

  Here are some solutions:

  1. Keep all the “dad” menu items in your top toolbar, and create a 2nd custom menu to add to the top of your right hand column which would include The Toolbox and The Sunday Evening Ache. You would add the 2nd menu to your sidebar with a Custom Menu widget.

  If you choose that route, here is info about custom menus:

  2. You can widen the constraint of your margins, and adjust your font sizes, if you upgrade to Custom Design:

  Custom Domains [Redirects to Domain Reg Support Page]

  If you make this choice, you’ll have access to your CSS code which can be adapted to change many attributes of your site’s default layout. You would have to feel comfortable learning a bit of code to make these adjustments.

  And a link to our helpful CSS forum, where you can get handy suggestions for code to try:

  3. You can remove the word Dad from the menu titles, which if it suits you, will make more space.

  4. Finally, you can choose a new theme that allows for a larger column width:

  Let me know if you have any questions about these options. I’m happy to help.
