I was a bit short and to the point with that reply. I was on limited time before my first job of the morning. A little explanation of the above 'do this' missive.

The rectangle behind the navbar has a 44% transparency on it which, obviously, allows the text to show through. In addition it was positioned behind the text so that the text rolls over the top. Moving it in front of everything except the logo and navbar, and removing the transparency did the job.

The yellow rectangle is actually 2 rectangles. One is stretched full width, the other is a shade lighter and adds an effect to the link. It also stops the text from rolling over the front of the full width yellow, and it wasn't quite long enough to cover all the text in the blue boxes bellow.
