Here is exactly the type of site I originally made GetSimple for...
http://writeadvice.info/
It's not filled out with content yet, but the theme was created in about 10 minutes from an already done HTML file. I love GS... haha

Oh, yes. I can think of several clients of ours who could benefit from this kind of site, consultants especially, solo law practitioners.... I'm very excited about this and no MySQL required!? I think I've died and gone to heaven.

Haha... i love the enthusiasm. I was always a Wordpress man until i realized... why am I spending hours setting up this site, that the clients may or may not ever go in and update. Small sites like this don't need anything powerful... just something that looks good and works. Thanks the community that has formed here, the "working" part is almost done. Just a few small issues here and there, and it will be bug free...

I like it Chris. I have a question that I'm sure has a simple answer that I'm just overlooking though. With that theme, you've got it setup to have the "current" selected page showing the button as highlighted. This is obviously in the CSS as "current" whatever, but how did you work that into the menu system automatically without actually putting in the full menu manually? Also, just an FYI, I just happened to click the URL at the bottom of the page to go to your site and noticed that the URL is missing the "R" from "intranet", so it didn't take me to your page.
Thanks again for putting together such a simple CMS package. I'm looking forward to using this to help me learn more about PHP and hopefully use this to drum up a little business on the side for some people who need something like this.
Thanks,
Garrett

Garrett,
If you do a viewsource on that site, you see the nav looks like this:
Code:
<ul id="nav">
<li class="current index" ><a href="http://www.writeadvice.info/" title="WriteAdvice">Home</a></li>
<li class="about" ><a href="http://www.writeadvice.info/about" title="About Emily">About</a></li>
<li class="copywriting" ><a href="http://www.writeadvice.info/copywriting" title="Copywriting">Copywriting</a></li>
<li class="resumes" ><a href="http://www.writeadvice.info/resumes" title="Resumes">Resumes</a></li>
<li class="information" ><a href="http://www.writeadvice.info/information" title="Information">Information</a></li>
</ul>You can tell that this source was taken from the index page because the LI element has a class of "current". So all you need to do is add this type of code to your CSS file, and it should automatically highlight it:
Code:
#nav li.current a {
color:#fff;
background:#000;
}
