 * Hi- i wonder if someone can help me out. In my site i use some php to identify
   the current page for my navigatiomay bar.
    <?php $thisPage=”Music”; ?> ive decided
   to move all of my site into wordpress and would like to know how i can use the
   above code with the categories.. something like: <?php $thisPage=”music category”;?
   > can someone point me toward something? also, while im asking- does anyone have
   an opinion on wether or not it’s a good or bad idea to use wordpress for all 
   of my sites content? should it be used primarily for the journal pages? i have
   heard its not good to tax the db too much, but would like all of my content to
   be searchable and have rss feeds. any ideas? thank you
