Last night I got started on another little site that I enjoy the topic of. It’s nice to work on sites like this, because it isn’t really work… as something more entertaining to do than pick lint out of my bellybutton. I’m excited to see where this site goes. I’m not working on this site alone either. I’ve recruited one of my friend’s to come along for the ride and provide some content for the site in lieu of money later down the road when the site takes off a bit. Right now - it’s brand spanking new. I let my friend know it could take a while before any money was to be seen… and I guess it didn’t really matter, we both love the topic.
I guess this is my first attempt at trying to distribute the work within my little network of sites. I’m actually quite happy to have someone to talk to about this, in person. It is just different and I’m looking forward to plenty of “business meetings” over plates of Sushi 
… anyway…
I’ve been contemplating taking the plunge into learning more about programming a website - that pesky PHP coding and wrapping it all up in a pretty CSS bow. Since I’ve just realized that in the three boxes in the header - the first link on all of them… isn’t working. I’ve gone through the code and I can’t figure it out for the life of me. Any suggestions on what I’ve done - or what I can do to fix it?
Other than that… I’m laying low and working on my existing sites and trying to figure out the code on my next WordPress template

The links work fine in Internet Explorer and Maxthon(IE based) but don’t link up in Firefox for some reason. The source code looks ok, but I can’t see what’s in the background either. I’m guessing that there is something in the CSS, but I still don’t know why that would cause that. Perhaps you’ve stumbled upon some arcane Firefox bug…

It just came to me. Check the padding on your header for those boxes. If you look at the three boxes, the leftmost one works fine, but you have to be at the very bottom of the text on the first link before it underlines. With the other two boxes, the text is smaller, so it’s possible that you can’t get low enough and still be hovering the text. I think the headers of the boxes is overlaying the text and causing the link to never be hoverable because you are always hovering the header…
Does that make any sense at all? I think there is a way to change what is on top, but I can’t for the life of me remember what. Z-score?
Hope that helps.

In your CSS change the height the #headerimg style from 60px; to 40px;
Only tested in Firefox, but that fixes it here
