 * Hello,
 * I have a post page where i have to display the post on the right, and a list 
   of last 6 posts on the left.
    And to show the current post highlighted on the
   left list (as **current_page_item** for pages) by adding a CSS class to the “
   li” of the current post.
 * Any help?
 * Thanks

 * naturally, this depends on the code that you are using for the six posts in the
   sidebar.
 * general steps:
 * get the current post id into a variable;
    compare this in the sidebar loop with
   the id of the posts; if equal, output class current into li element.

 * well researched –
 * imho, most solutions are already ‘out there’ – just sometimes difficult to find
