I’m a bug-fixer!
Today, I finally emailed Tech Wench (who designed the Red Stripes theme of my blog) with the two fixes I made to minor bugs in the PHP and CSS that control the red tabs in the theme. She replied to say ‘thanks’.
My first bug fix…
…I’m practically a developer! 
Originally, when you clicked a tab, the tab appeared to grow. So, in style.css, I replaced the ‘bottom’ padding of the “#menu li.page_item a” style with 10px instead of 20px, which seemed to fix the problem:
#menu li.page_item a { float: left; width: 90px;
margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
background-color: #660000; text-decoration: none; }
I also added a ‘maximum depth’ parameter to the wp_list_pages PHP in header.php to prevent sub-pages in the blog being displayed in among the tabs (the sub-page entries kind of hid themselves behind/below the tabs):
<ul id="menu">
< ?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
</ul>
Both of these seem to work in both Firefox and IE.
