Comment on Stallion WordPress SEO Theme by Terri.

WordPress SEO Theme Hello! I am new to Stallion, so any advice is greatly appreciated!

1) Navigation from boxes to custom images – On the ‘Delicate theme’ (a good basic theme BTW for designer to hack a little CSS and make something creative), I am trying to replace the navigation boxes which I believe is “navigation.gif” then repeat X, – with a picture of a leaf. The leaf will could contain the text in the image.

The issue is I uploaded the leaf image and called it ‘navigation.gif’, to replace the gradient sliver that you use to create the top navigation boxes. However, much to my dismay nothing changes.

2) Vertical navigation -Further, is there any way I can make the navigation bar go down the side?

For example, on my current site which I created with iweb, you can see what I am trying to do with the leaf: it goes down vertically? I imagine that is a CSS ‘project’. (My test site is here: BTW.

3) For the blog area of my website, that is SEO landing pages, I might just create template pages that look different from my “business card area of my website” – Any suggestions about this are welcome. For example, is it better to use a layout with no side bars on the home page, contact etc pages, and then in the ‘blog’ area use template pages that have sidebars? I guess I want some style variation in my website, one area with sidebars and one without.
