   Hello, I'm trying to determine the best to to make an image (navigation) 'currentstate' based on the category. It seems to fail when I try to add is_page('news'). News being my Posts page. I also tried to call News by its page id which didn't work either.

   What is the page id for the Posts page?
   What category or id do I use for posts?

   Sorry about the indenting.

   <!-- determines background image -->
   			<?php if (is_page('9')) {
   				echo "<ul id=\"nav\">
   			<li><a href=\"http://s62925.gridserver.com/\" class=\"home\" title=\"Home\"></a></li>
   			<li><a href=\"http://s62925.gridserver.com/about-acme/\" class=\"aboutcurrent\" title=\"About Acme\"></a></li>

   			} elseif (is_page('12')) {

   the posts page is referred to as if (is_home())

   the front page when one is defined as if (is_front_page())
