   Well if you guys aren't sick of me yet, I have another question. The "show home link on the menu" function that I copied and pasted into my functions.php doesn't seem to have any effect. My other two copy-past functions (favicon and conditional stylesheets) work great. I don't really know PHP so any help anyone can offer would be great.

   Here's what my functions.php looks like:
   

   <?php
   // Adds Home link to navgation
   function sample_menu() {
       $menu = '<div id="menu"><ul>';
       if ( is_home() ) {
           $menu .= '<li class="current_page_item"><a href="';
       }
       else {
            $menu .= '<li><a href="';
       }
       $menu .= get_option('home') . '/" title="Home">Home</li>';
       $menu .= str_replace( array( "\r", "\n", "\t" ), '', wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&echo=0') );
       $menu .= "</ul></div>\n";
       echo $menu;
   }
   add_filter('sandbox_menu', 'sample_menu' );
   
   // Uses child theme favicon
   function childtheme_favicon() { ?>
       <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') ?>/images/favicon.ico" />
   <?php }
   
   add_action('wp_head', 'childtheme_favicon');
   
   // Adds conditional stylesheets
   function childtheme_iefix() { ?>
       <!--[if lt IE 8]>
   	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') ?>/ie.css" />
       <![endif]-->
   <?php }
   
   add_action('wp_head', 'childtheme_iefix');
   ?>

   My site (in development) is at http://flasta.org/wp/

   Thanks for your help. This is probably some newbie error (failure to properly cut and paste???) but I can't figure it out.

   Looks like I have to update some tutorials! sandbox_menu has changed to globalnav_menu with version 0.7.

   Hi there,

   I have a small question about the home-nav-link and would be very happy for your help (I'm an newby and php-analphabet): I copied the link above (use the old version with sandbox_menu), and it works well with firefox. But IE makes me cry: The home-link seems to be outside the ordinary ul, so
   1. the position is not in the center but close to the right, although the other links have a padding of 5 px to the left and the right,
   2. the padding to the bottom is extreemly big, seems as it produces a break and then continues with the ordinary ul. Has anybody a clue what could be wrong?
   Thanks a lot
   Sebastian

   Can you give us a link?

   And this may not solve your problem, but I noticed in the code above (which I lifted from Ian's site - I don't want to take credit for being able to write any PHP!) that the anchor link isn't closed. So change
   

   $menu .= get_option('home') . '/" title="Home">Home</li>';

   to
   

   $menu .= get_option('home') . '/" title="Home">Home</a></li>';

   It's possible that IE could be doing something weird because the tag wasn't closed, and that could be messing up your layout.

   Hello Brightbold!

   thank you for your answer and your solution, I opened a new thread (http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/some-problems-with-internet-explorer), because there were more problems with the internet-explorer, but I solved them all now. The missing /a was the right bug, if you close it, it runs fine! Thank you for your help!
