I am using the Coffee Desk WP theme and I quite like it. However, I made some buttons that I'd like to use in lieu of the standard navigation bar. Has anyone ever customized their navigation bar in wordpress? How did it turn out? Thanks in advance! The site is magicsatchel.com.

We customize WP all the time but it's usually from scratch - I can't say I've ever switched out existing nav buttons for new ones in a pre-designed template. Give it a shot and post back, I'd love to see the buttons you made. It really should be as easy as switching out the image files. I probably don't need to tell you this but I will or I'll worry - be sure to save the original images just-in-case! __________________ Create a welcome packet for new clients with this guide and free templates!

Thanks, Tess- there are no images currently, it's text. I have some ideas of how I might do it but I have to test it out first. Thanks!

Oh! I see [I should have looked at it before answering you, sorry! ] It sounds like you're up for the challenge! Looking forward to seeing what you've done. I'm even more curious now... __________________ Create a welcome packet for new clients with this guide and free templates! (Available in PDF and Kindle versions)

I need to learn to modify word press; it seems there's so much more to learn. First I teach myself how to make a website using a website creator. Then that's not good enough so I teach myself html. Then that's not good enough so I teach myself css. Now that's all not good enough so I need to learn php! I'm starting to feel old, hehe. __________________ Miss Admin
