 * Having trouble inserting some custom links in to the nav bar on the “excellence”
   theme.
 * It tried this, and it works fine in Firefox, but breaks in IE.
 *     ```
       <li class="page_item"<a href="http://www.billsboardonline.com/">Home</a></li><li class="page_item"<a href="http://www.billsboardonline.com/Classifiedads/">Classifieds</a></li><li class="page_item"<a href="http://www.billsboardonline.com/advertising.php">Advertise with Us</a></li><li class="<?php if (((is_home()) &amp;&amp; !(is_paged())) or (is_archive()) or (is_single()) or (is_paged()) or (is_search())) { ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Blog Home<?php echo $langblog;?></a></li>
       ```
   
 * The biggest problem here is that I don’t really understand everything going on
   here:
 * `<li class="<?php if (((is_home()) &amp;&amp; !(is_paged())) or (is_archive())
   or (is_single()) or (is_paged()) or (is_search())) { ?>current_page_item<?php}
   else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Blog
   Home<?php echo $langblog;?></a></li>`

 * I’m not surprised it didn’t work. 3 out the 4 opening li tags weren’t properly
   formed. Plus the PHP syntax for ‘or’ is ‘||’.
 * Translation: If (this is the home page AND it isn’t paged) OR it’s an archive
   page OR a single post OR has a number of pages OR is a search result page, then
   assign it the class “current_page_item”. Otherwise, assign it the class “page_item”.
