Description
I'm newbie to drupal. I am using the abarre theme which I really like. I have everything up and functioning on my site and am now fine tuning things. One of the things is the menu. I clicked off the primary links in abarre and am using the nice menu module because I have a couple of primary links that have sub-menus that I want to come out the side. I'm not crazy about nice menu because of it's location and look on the abarre theme. I would like to go back to using the abarre primary link menu but am wondering if there is a way to make it function how the nice menu does, positioned on the left with submenus coming out while making the primary link just a placeholder. Thanks in advance.

Instead of using the primary links of the page template, use the primary links block. This way it shoes the submenus that are set as 'expanded' in the menu configuration.
The rest is fairly easy, just use some css to hide the sublink by default, and show them when hover on the parent menu.
There's a fairly good tutorial on how to do this here : http://www.alistapart.com/articles/horizdropdowns/
Good luck !

Thanks for the speedy responsse. Pardon my ignorance but this is really not my forte. I think, and correct me please, the primary link pull down on the actual page gets set to something, what? On the menu page under primary links that gets set to what? Do I click the expanded box on the primary links menu page? I looked at the tutorial and I'll be honest it seems daunting but hey I'll give it a try and enter the code, whew what have I gotten into. I have another question regarding a different issue, I'll address that after I get this figured out. Thanks so much for your help! As an additional question after poking around, where would I insert all the code as described in the tutorial? Again, pardon my ignorance but this is my first foray into anything like this. I guess I am asking for a step by step if it's not too much trouble. Thanks in advance for all your help.

I've installed the css module, it seems that this will allow me to alter the particular node. I haven't a clue. Help is necessary and appreciated.

It looks like you first need to practice your CSS, this is key to develop a Drupal theme, and customize it your way.
Drupal manages your content, but not everything can be done with modules :)
Maybe have a look in the documentation of drupal.org about theming, that might be a good way to start.
Good luck.
note : closing the issue, this isn't related to Abarre.
