Navbar is Off

Hi,

My navbar is off. Everything is appearing underneath each other instead of side-to-side. Same with my log in and user name. It goes right, but is not lined up on the bar. The application.html.erb file looks exactly the same as the one in the project download files. Thoughts?

So, after a boat load of searching and playing around, I actually found a missing </div> tag that had thrown the whole thing off. It's working now and looking pretty nice. :-)
