    CSS Classes

    CSS Classes are an advanced menu property that allow you to apply a CSS class to individual menu items. Turn on the CSS Class capability by clicking the Screen Options drop down at the top-right of your screen, and check the box for CSS Classes:

    Advmenu3a

    For some themes, like Soundcheck, there is existing CSS in the theme that will convert your menu item to a photo. All you need to do is add the class to a custom link that the theme documentation refers to.
    Advmenu3

    If you are looking to implement your own CSS styling on your menu items, you will need aWordPress.com plan which includes advanced customization.  In the above example, you could then stylize the link with the selector .twitter in your CSS.
