The missus has asked me to help her to create a family history website for her. It has been many years since I did anything more than a bit of ASP and whilst I was never very good at "design" it was before the days of CSS.

Anyway, always up for a challenge I have had a go at making the template and so far it is going ok - and I am starting to like CSS though I am sure the experts here could rip my code appart but I'm still learning.

I have tried to make a "roll over" using CSS rather than the traditional image files/ javascript so that she can change the links in the navigation as much as she wants without having to create new buttons each time and whilst it is 90% there I cannot get the text to line up properly as you can see.....

How can I move the text down about 10px so that it lines up with the buttons correctly?

Many thanks for your help.

Have you tried padding the list element?
