I would like to change the font-size and font-family of the #customhomelink but for whatever reason if I make changes to the #customhomelink text then the text under the div #wctopdropnav also get affected. I only wish to change the size and family for the #customhomelink. The URL to my blog is as follows: http://www.blankesque.com and I've included all the html and css coding for the hovering navigation bar below.
CSS:
#wctopdropcont{ /* width of the main bar categories */
width:100%;
height:45px;
display:block;
padding: 5.5px 0 0 0;
z-index:100;
top:0px;
left: 0px;
position:fixed;
background:#f8f8f8;
}
#wctopdropnav{ /* social */
float: right;
width:97%;
height:7px;
display:block;
padding:0px;
}
#wctopdropnav ul{
float:right;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#wctopdropnav li{
float:left;
list-style:none;
line-height:13px;
margin-left: 4px;
padding: 10px 6.5px 6.5px 6.5px;/* height of the clicked bar */
background:#f8f8f8;
}
#wctopdropnav li a, #wctopdropnav li a:link{
color:#000000;
float: right;
display:block;
margin-left: 4px;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 9.5px!important;
font-family: karla, arial!important;
padding: 5px;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight: normal!important;
letter-spacing : 0.09em;
}
#wctopdropnav li a:hover, #wctopdropnav li a:active, #wctopdropnav .current_page_item a {
color:black;
font-weight: normal;
padding: 5px;
background: #f8f8f8;
filter:black;
}
#wctopdropnav li li a, #wctopdropnav li li a:link, #wctopdropnav li li a:visited{
font-size: 9.5px;
background:#f8f8f8;
color: #000000;
width: 90px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0;
line-height: 15px;
position: relative;
}
#wctopdropnav li li a:hover, #wctopdropnav li li a:active {
color: black;
background: #f8f8f8;
filter: #f8f8f8;
}
#wctopdropnav li ul{
z-index:9999;
position:absolute;
left:-999em;
height:auto;
width:170px;
margin:22px 0 0 0;
padding: 8px 0 0 0;
}
#wctopdropnav li:hover ul, #wctopdropnav li li:hover ul, #wctopdropnav li li li:hover ul, #wctopdropnav li.sfhover ul, #topwctopdropnav li li.sfhover ul, #topwctopdropnav li li li.sfhover ul{
left:auto
}
#wctopdropnav li:hover, #wctopdropnav li.sfhover{
position:static
}
#customhomelink {
font-size: 11px!important;
font-family: 'snickles', arial;
letter-spacing: 0.09em;
font-weight: bold!important;
color: #000000;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-decoration: none!important;
float: left;
}
HTML code:
<div id='wctopdropcont'>
<div id='wctopdropnav'>
<ul>
<li><a href='/about/'>About</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Categories</a>
<ul>

</ul>
</div>

As I see in your code #customhomelink has parent #wctopdropnav Also, as I see, you have rule for parent:
#wctopdropnav li a, #wctopdropnav li a:link {
color: #000000;
float: right;
display: block;
margin-left: 4px;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 9.5px !important;
font-family: karla, arial!important;
padding: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: normal!important;
letter-spacing: 0.09em;
}
but not for child. So in order to make changes to child only add this rule to your css
#wctopdropnav #customhomelink li a,
#wctopdropnav #customhomelink li a:link {
font-size: 12px !important // put your size instead
font-family: karla, arial!important; //your font-family here
}
Also, for future, try to avoid !important stuff in order to have better css code.
