When creating a horizontal navigation bar with an image, I encountered an issue where the image link did not align with the rest of the links on the navigation bar. I wanted to drop it down by a pixel or two without affecting the position of the other links within the div tag.
Using { position: absolute; } and { position: relative; } caused the image link to overlap the other links.

Here is how it appears with absolute positioning: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Xx0Y0.jpg
