Brian,

Awesome, thanks a lot.

Of course in all my back and forth I didn't have it setup like I had. I'd
gone back to scratch to try again. So, I just added the data-spy option to
the UL in the template that is the nav. The problems that are happening
with it on this page aren't exactly as described in my previous email but
still, there be problems :) The offset doesn't work at all. Not sure what
css to include to make it work right. And it gets skinny on scroll now, not
wider.

Thank you!!!
