   howdy.. guys, can any of you help to find a way clear this up?

   i found a dead end of highlighting menu..

   current_page_item seems not working properly when i using

   random post in the sidebar.. i've noticed from when i remove the

   query_post(array('orderby'=>'rand')); from the sidebar

   the current_page_item works fine.. but when i put it back

   the current_page_item not working as usual.. please help me..

   Don't use query_posts for a secondary Loop. Use get_posts or WP_Query instead.

   it's just Constant value.. the loop is right but not the content that looped, only one post is looped..
