I’m satisfied with this blog theme. My only problem I’m having is setting up category names as links in the nav bar in the header section. This is probably because I know jack about php. Or, I’ve yest to fumble across the easy button for the widgets section.

But, I do know something about jQuery. Chris Coyier, over at css-tricks.com, put together a simple and very effective jQuery drop down menu. There are a boat load of “plugins” and cumbersome jQuery scripts for navigation out there on the interwebs, but this particular one I have found to be the most effective and easiest to personalize for your projects. I especially like the simple addition of…

$("ul.dropdown li ul li:has(ul)").find("a:first").append(" » ");

…to add in the “»” after the anchor in a nested list to show there is more to that anchors category. Check it out if you’re looking for a semantic and valid code solution that works in all browsers!
