Thanks Justice, good advice.  I will start looking at these things.

I posted this somewhere else, but you guys may be more helpful.  I'm learning css for the first time, and this is a problem I can seem to solve.  For those that know css, feel free to offer advice!


Here is my site:
http://aram.dcmembers.com/

I'm modifying the existing css theme to copy as much as possible the following webpage:
http://libremagazine.com/

Now, see those navigation links in white at the top? I'm having trouble doing two things:
1) I'm trying to get exactly one pixel border around each navigation box. But by adding a border around each one, the border in between will be 2 pixels because it adds the border from the two adjacent sides. So I tried using border-left, border-right, border, but I can't figure out how to get just one pixel in between.  Also, the reason I used border-right and border-left instead of border is so the white empty space next to the links will line up exactly.  I was (am still) having a hard time having the one pixel border lining up.  By adding a pixel to the overall navigation bar and then another pixel to those link blocks, would throw off the lines by one pixel.  Here is the code:

--- Code: CSS ---/* Main and sub-navigation */#navigation, #sub-navigation { float: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: .03em; text-align: left; }#navigation { width: 942px; font-size: 1em; background: #FFFFFF; border: 0px solid #DEDBD1; /*url(images/nav-right-dark.gif) no-repeat right top;*/ }#sub-navigation { width: 940px; font-size: .8em; background: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #DEDBD1; border-bottom: none; } #navigation.nav-search { width: 740px; }#nav { float: left; padding:  0 0 0 0px; background: #FFFFFF /*url(images/nav-left-dark.gif) no-repeat left top;*/ } /* List items */#nav li, #sub-nav li { float: left; border-left: 1px  solid #DEDBD1; border-right: 1px  solid #DEDBD1; }#nav li li, #sub-nav li li { float: left; width: 150px; background: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #DEDBD1; }
2) The other thing I can't figure out is how to make that top part (the main navigation and header image area) to span the entire window instead of the width of the rest of the page. I really like that look. I want to do the same to the bottom of the webpage also.

Shades:
Define a size of -1 for one of the sides that touch each other. That is the simplest thing I can think of right now (it is possible to define a different border for each side (left, right, top, bottom)).

By the way, what do you people think of my logo?  Don't be afraid to criticize.  I'm just going for a clean, professional look.


Initially, my slogan was "Only the Good Stuff", but someone said it reminded them of a Kenny Chesney song, which is true.  As I can't stand Kenny CHesney, I had to change it.  "Top of the Line" was a slogan my cousin and I used to say a lot when we were kids and were always trying to find the best things to get.
