Ok, for some reason, the navbar on my blog looks different than the navbar on the rest of my site... EVEN THOUGH i'm using the same CSS, and the same HTML (as far as I can tell)...

The navbar on the blog is more condensed, and the + signs (you'll see them) are elevated on the rest of my site, but not on my blog page. What's up with that?

Would y'all please take a look, and see if you can spot something that I'm overlooking? I'd really appreciate it.

THANK YOU!

If you want to fine tune things this exactly, then you need to get Firebug (add-in for Firefox) and just compare the exact CSS that is in effect for each site. You can see some differences with Firebug. For example, the Smugmug site has a different line-height for ul li a. At the li and ul levels, there's a different font in place (Georgia Serif in blog, Arial in Smugmug) which effects the + signs and the font-size is different too.

Some of these differences look to me like they come from site defaults that are different which you are not setting and some come from just different CSS on the two sites.

You should also be aware that your navbar on both sites is sitting on top of the line under your banner in IE7. Looks fine in Firefox.

Hmm... thanks Denise. I've been using Firefox, Safari and IE8(Beta) for testing my site, and all look fine... Do you think that IE7 and IE8 could look different?
