    Hi,

    Everything was perfect until I added a link to the blog (present page). Code somewhere is making the highlighted button with a background. I would like it transparent but I can't find where the heck it is?

    Hi,
    I think I found that for you. The code involved will look similar to this in style.css:

    #subnav li a:active, #subnav li a:hover, #subnav .current_page_item a, #subnav .current-cat a, #subnav .current-menu-item {
      background: #444444;
      color: #FFFFFF;
    }
    

    Just comment out the background line, and it should clear right up.

    Ciao, Dave
