I bought a couple responsive themes and have been working at adding my content to them but am finding I am having some difficulty because I did not receive the codeing for all of the CSS files in the themes. So when I add something it is predetermined that it will be a certain size, location etc. I have added new images and resized them accordingly to the image folder. While that has solved the size issue it has not solved the location issue.
Case in point, I have the Autumn theme and I have added a couple new navigation tabs to the menu and they are not lining up the way I want them too. They are added under the current ones but sit sort of on top of the original ones. They are not neatly stacked underneath the original tabs and I am unable to make them do this. I tried adding <br> to the code in the <ul> area and that did break the tabs but again it either sits on top of the tabs or has too much space between them. This is a double row menu.
What can I do to manipulate this theme?
Also, I added my own image rather than the lame ones that come with the theme and when I try to add text to the right of the image it either places the text with no space so the text butts up against the image or places it all the way to the right with huge amounts of space between the image and the text. I even tried adding a table with 2 columns to no avail.
So if the theme isn't going to allow me to make adjustments to how it looks, it is not going to work for me.
Any help would be appreciated?
Thanks

All the adjustments would be made in the stylesheets/default.css file.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hello Jacqueline, I would echo what Eric writes - I would, he's younger than me AND a senior advisor. But yes, layout and style is all controlled with CSS. Ready-made themes are a mystery to me and I don't know how they mix and match with hand-coded content. I am getting into "responsive design" and target 3 screen resolutions. This means a total of four CSS pages - GLOBAL - LARGE - MEDIUM and SMALL. I guess someone better than I will need to see your current CSS pages as well as the HTML.

Thanks for the responses.
I have been working on my own design now so I think I will go with that. I am learning CSS and probably need some pointers here and there so If I do make a post, I hope that you all would be so kind as to lend a hand?
Someday I will have to try the other page idea for CSS. For now, it is contained on the main page. Again, I am a newbie at CSS. 4 Pages seems way over my head for doing my own responsive theme. In fact, I didn't even know that could be done, so I learned something already.
Thanks.
