How to fix navigation buttons in Blue Jeans Blogger Template or "My navigation links are getting wrapped to the next line"

This is mostly a Firefox issue, as it is said that in Internet Explorer it is displayed properly.
Still, I use Firefox and Konqueror, and this broken navigation was annoying me.

To fix it, you need to set font to a fixed size and tweak navigation items margins a little bit.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
  1. Open your template code (see in previous sections how to do it)
  2. Find a line that starts with .navigation {position:relative;
  3. Insert font-size:12px; between .navigation { and position:relative;
  4. Scroll down to a line
    .navigation span.prev {width:100px; float:left; margin-left: 45px; }
    and change it to
    .navigation span.prev {width:100px; float:left; margin-left: 38px; }
  5. Scroll down to a line
    .navigation span.next {width:100px; float:right; margin-right: 45px; }
    and change it to
    .navigation span.next {width:100px; float:right; margin-right: 42px; }
So the template code should look like this (blue color marks modified spots):


Save the template.
Your resulting navigation buttons will look like this:
