Custom Nav In CMS Not Displaying sIFR'd Links

Question

Here's the site I'm working on:

http://citylivingmag.com/test/

I wanted to do three things with sIFR:

1. Create a horizontal navigation that used the font the magazine has branded with for nearly a decade.

2. Have the headings read in the same font, but bolder.

3. Use sIFR to imitate the signature used in the Publisher's letter in the print version of the magazine.

I've accomplished the second and third things.

The problem I am having is with the navigation - similar to another question I saw that was having trouble with links. I tried the recommended fix in that question, and wasn't successful.

The visibility: hidden modification in the sifr.css file seems to be working against the links, because article titles (which don't link) are displaying but anything active is hiding after I sIFR it. I'm not certain why it would cause issues with one selector and not another. I even tried editing a .tpl file in my CMS to include the h2 selector in the .php string that creates the navigation, but no luck there either.

So... um... my question:

Is there a fix for this that I am missing, or should I just be happy I made two out of three goals with sIFR 3?

I have a backup plan involving background images if I really, really, really have to, but I really, really, really don't want to have to.

Thanks!
