want to justify the navigational header to the right
dadd...@gmail.com
My knowledge of CSS does have its limits. but I would simply like to
scoot the navigation links in the header to the right.
Do you have a moment to clue me?
Thank you for your time and thank you for allowing the world to use
your design.

Look in style-core.css for '#header .nav' section. The 'left' statement
controls horizontal position. It's specified as a pixel offset from the
left margin of it's parent div (basically the left edge of the header
image, if I remember correctly), so you'll just want to increase that
value a few pixels at a time until you're happy with your horizontal
position.
Thanks,

Thank you so much for writing me back. What you are saying makes
perfect sense. The reason I am thinking I don't know as much about CSS
as I thought I did is because I had tried adjusting the left margin
all kinds of ways, but it doesn't seem to budge the navigational bar.
I even changed the word "left" to "right" and no workie. Am I
overlooking something? Any clues you could offer would be so
appreciated.
Here is the way the core style reads now:
#header .nav {
position: absolute;
top: 35px;
left: 600 px;
height: 36px; /* Is this necessary? */
/* font: 1.2em Verdana, Sans-Serif; */
font-size: 1.2em;
color: #404040; /* Is this necessary? */
}
and just in case I did something weird to the header.php.... here's
that

I tried it with some outrageous numbers this morning and it still does
not change position.
Right now it reads
#header .nav {
position: absolute;
top: 35px;
right: 300000 px;
height: 36px; /* Is this necessary? */
/* font: 1.2em Verdana, Sans-Serif; */
font-size: 1.2em;
color: #404040; /* Is this necessary? */
}
I tried it with small numbers and huge numbers, right and left.
If you can help, I would be so grateful.

I typically try not to troubleshoot theme customizations unless they
have some prospect of contributing improvements back into the main
codebase, such troubleshooting sessions often go on tangents that have
little to do with WuCoco development. In this case, the problem is
simply that you're not using correct CSS syntax.
However, you've gone through some trouble to ask a well-formed
question,
and I appreciate folks that try to ask good questions. Soooo...

There a space between the number (300000) and the unit (px). Can't do
that, it's not syntactically correct. In the future, try
troubleshooting your CSS with FireFox's built in DOM inspector, it
makes
it very easy to see if your code is behaving the way that you expect
(in
this case it would have shown you that there was no right/left
statement
being applied to the NAV block because the browser ignores any lines
with syntax that it can't figure out).
Thanks,
Mike
