# Active menu selection.

 * When you make a selection from the secondary menu in the left sidebar the text
   changes to a bolded or blurry state. This is to tell you where you are on the
   menu as you move around the site. A good idea but it is not very obvious unless
   you look really hard.
 * What I would like to do is change this menu condition to colored text rather 
   than the bolded or blurry state.
 * Anyone know how to do that?
