 * I want wp_nav_menu to give a special class for the first
    -  in the list. Like this.
    -     ```
          <ul>
          						<li class="first"><a href="#">link</a></li>
          						<li><a href="#">link</a></li>
          						<li><a href="#">link</a></li>
          						<li><a href="#">link</a></li>
          						<li><a href="#">link</a></li>
          						<li><a href="#">link</a></li>
          					</ul>
          ```
      
    - Is this possible? Can someone lend a hand? Thanks for reading.

 * You can use wp_get_nav_menu_items to build the list, using a counter to add your
   special class to only the first item: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_nav_menu_items](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_nav_menu_items)
