 * Hi,
 * I would like to change the text color of the active menu item.
 * (sorry, I can’t share my website’s address)
 * For example, the hover color is red, but once you click on the menu item, the
   color of that active link changes to blue; I would like it to stay red.
 * Also, is there code I can use to modify the link hover color of the front page
   buttons?
