I've added the second item in menu to add a submenu in it and added two selector on the bottom of css. Here is the sample
HTML
<div id="navWrap">
<nav class="nav">
<div id="cssmenu" class="centered">
<ul>
<li class='first'><span>Home</span></li>
<li><span>Have submenu</span>
<ul class="submenu">
<li>submenu one</li>
<li>submenu two</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>About</span></li>
<li><span>Prices</span></li>
<li><span>F.A.Q</span>
</li>
<li><span>How to Use</span></li>
<li><span>Contact</span></li>
<li><span>Log In</span></li>
<li class="last"><span>Help</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
