   hello guys im creating my theme and bulding the main menu using the wp_list_pages function. I have portfolio, about and screencasts as my pages so it all appears.. but how do i add a home menu so the output is

   home | screencasts | portfolio | about

   and also, this menu uses the sliding doors technique so i also need a way to highlight the current page.

   please help.

   tnx!

   Might do something like this:

   <div id="navigation">
     <ul>
       <li <?php if(is_home()){echo 'class="current_page_item"';}?>><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(1); ?>">home</a></li>
       <li <?php if(is_page('screencasts')){echo
   'class="current_page_item"';}?>><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(2); ?>">screencasts</a></li>
       <li <?php if(is_page('porfolio')){echo
   'class="current_page_item"';}?>><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(3); ?>">portfolio</a></li>
    . . .
   </ul>
   </div>

   Where the number in the get_permalink bracket represents the ID of the page you're linking to.

   The . . . represent any other nav items you add.

   Make sense?
