This is the code that's there - I just want regular links

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.mysite.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href=http://www.mysite.com/love>Love</a></li>
<li><a href=http://www.mysite.com/life>Life</a></li>
<li><a href=http://www.mysite.com/peace>Peace</a></li>
</ul>

Would it go like this maybe?

Thanks

this will work if you add the styles to your sheet for

ul {} and li {}
add your style code between the {}

if they are already there you can do the rest by making adjustments in your stylesheet for layout

you would be better off creating styles to apply to the menu only thoe, as the code you have above, if you style it like that it will apply to any ul or li

create your own styles then use

<ul class="class name">
<li class="class name"><a href="#"></a></li>
<li class="class name"><a href="#"></a></li>
<li class="class name"><a href="#"></a></li>
<li class="class name"><a href="#"></a></li>
</ul>

Evan - thank you. I'm just winging it, it did work - it's on wordpress and in the header - I have no idea about style sheets and creating styles and stuff.

I just guess, sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. I'm a persistant one though.

Thanks

Yep that was it. Leave me alone with myself long enough and I'll probably figure it out.

Am I talking to myself?

Its wordpress right? why don't use wp_nav_menu? this feature comes with wordpress 3.0, see the documentation.
