I understand that it is a CSS based nav menu. Guess my question becomes, what do I do with the other nav menu that was written in HTML & CSS?

It's really a single nav menu. It's a single list with sub-lists inside of it. Those sub-lists become the dropdowns. Does that help? I'm not sure what you're asking exactly.

How much do you know about IP tracing? We are trying to implement it as a feature with our solution but that is one area I do not have experience.

We are trying to capture IPs on our Custom Umbraco site.

I don't know anything about IP tracing. However, given that you're using a CMS, I would check for extensions/plugins that might help with that. That's where I'd start.

Oh crap I never even thought about that lol. I will look into it albeit we didn't want to use any 3rd party services because depending on the license, we cannot copyright those services.

Also, I just tried that Jeopardy game for coding and it's awesome lol. Not sure to coded that but I am not sure it was not easy!

Do you know where I can buy some of your coding books? Once bought are they emailed or sent in physical form?

I have worked with CMSs extensively in my career (particularly Joomla back in the day, but also WordPress). Never worked with Umbraco. However, there's usually some way that you could write your own plugin. I'm sure you could hire someone to do this if a plugin won't work for whatever reason.

My books are all listed here: https://learnwithjen.com/ -- they are all instant download.

The 30Days and 15Days books were never physical. There is a physical version of "Before You Code" at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Before-You-Code-Jen-Kramer/dp/1732890633/

Hope you enjoy!

It helps me. So I created my own portfolio via your exercise. I mainly used it to sharpen my skills. In that exercise we made a nav menu that does not have or use drop down menus

I would like to switch menus for my portfolio site. I can play around with.

I need help with the drop-down menu. My question is, do I remove the other nav menu entirely or add too it? I want to use that drop-down menu with my portfolio I just built using your Front End Masters course.

I do have coding experience and picked up what you were doing very quickly and finished my portfolio in one day.

Hey Keith -- this is a fairly complex codepen that includes a CSS-only hamburger button and a dropdown. Maybe this will help? https://codepen.io/jen4web/pen/poeQwYo?editors=1100

Let me know if not. Maybe I can find another example.
