Problem with my design

Hey I have put together a couple css layouts that were free and I have learned a lot in a little bit, but I am having a problem getting this menu bar to have drop down options. I am going to include my html and css any help would be appreciated as I have worked on this for days and have gotten a drop down to work but it seems to change the page completely. This is only a portion of the web page not the full thing. The css is complete.

Any help in advance I thank you.

ugh. Looks like you need heaps of help. Your menu (unordered list) is just a plain list that are links. Nothing will drop down as it is. Not sure what to suggest but to maybe hire a real web developer? Looks like you are in over your head IMHO.
