Aj,
Looks like you switched away from the Education theme?

This should help with your menu CSS issues: CSS fix for Education theme dropdown menu issue (here's how)

For starters, the padding on the main #wrap div is creating the horizontal scroll bars, so I'd set that to zero (0) starting at 600px.
You could also resize your logo for different queries, since it seems to dominate the screen on the smaller devices.

Glad to hear you made it this far! For the responsiveness on your site, I'd comment out line 566 - the float:left is what's holding you back.

It's very possible that I misunderstood you on this. It sounded like you were wanting your visitors to 'Like' your Facebook page without knowing that that was what they were doing when they clicked on the link / icon / etc.
Sorry about that!

.home-top.widget-area h4, .home-middle.widget-area h4 { text-align: center; }
then remove text-align: center; from the top block of code you posted here.

If you want me to look deeper I'd need your FTP details. Otherwise, I'm out of possible answers for the moment.

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉JohnParticipantOr do you have a cache plugin that needs to be purged or flushed?
John Sundberg | blackhillswebworks.com
A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉JohnParticipantThat sounds right, but what about above those directories? Any chance you were using a subdomain for a development site? I know from experience that it's possible to upload the right file to the wrong place, or the wrong file to the right place, and then wonder why nothing changed on the site.
John Sundberg | blackhillswebworks.com
A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉JohnParticipantYep, Firebug is one way, and probably the best way, to do that.
Yeah, I noticed that too. It wouldn't hurt to downsize that logo.
John Sundberg | blackhillswebworks.com
A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉JohnParticipantHmm, that is weird. Silly question, are you sure you're uploading to the correct directory on your server?
John Sundberg | blackhillswebworks.com
A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉JohnParticipantRight on. In the blog post I included a link to a site using the Education theme. If you follow through with the changes on your site you could then compare the style.css files to see what further edits you'd need to make to finish the process for your theme.
It does take some work and think-time, but the end result is worth it.

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉JohnParticipantNow you're talking! The HTML has lots of selectors that never actually get used by the CSS, but they are there and available if you need them.
So in this case, the class .menu-main-navigation-container did exist and does exist in the HTML. You didn't create the class when you added it to your CSS - you only targeted what was already there and then added a rule to style the class. CSS doesn't create selectors (classes, IDs, or otherwise), it can only target them.
RE browser defaults, they are there and they're different for every browser, unfortunately, but they are pretty much irrelevant to this particular question / topic.

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉JohnParticipantCan you provide a link to your site?
John Sundberg | blackhillswebworks.com
A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉JohnParticipantTracy,
Check out this screenshot of your website in Firefox with Firebug open and the class selector underlined in red: http://db.tt/vGZNBBlm
The HTML structure of your site is in the left pane, and the CSS is in the right pane. Just because there isn't a CSS rule in your style.css file doesn't mean there isn't a class, ID or other selector available in the HTML that you can target with CSS.
So for your site in question, I just located the DIV that contains the menu, saw that it had a class of .menu-main-navigation-container, and created a new CSS rule for that class.

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉JohnParticipantGot it. So is that the actual functions.php file you're using on your site at this moment? The only change from the default appears to be the link tag on the featured image. I'm wondering if any other edits have an effect on the site?
For example, duplicate the image and call it featured-image.jpg, upload it to the theme's images directory, and edit that line in the code so it uses the new image instead of sample.jpg, then see if it uses the new image on the site.
Another possibility - what are you using for an FTP client? The functions.php file you sent has an extra line added after every other line. I ran into this once with Filezilla, and I think the fix was to go to Settings > Transfers > File Types and make sure it was set to Binary.
