Help a newbie with css

[krweaver]

I'm really trying to understand and learn about css files.
I downloaded the architech template as an test example.
Please excuse my being naive and dumb sometimes. I need help and greatly appreciate anyone who is patient enough to share things w/me.

I see there is a brown "blob" under the "About Us" first link.
That shows that the page being displayed. If I create another page (e.g., Services), how do I get that brown indicator to "move" to indicate that's the page that's active?

Thanks, in advance...

do you have the index.html open for editing?
if not open it at scroll down to the <div id="nav">
do you see <li class="important"><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
notice the part <li class="important"> is on pointing to the index.html and not the others.
make a new page called services.
move the code <li class="important"> down to the services
<li class="important"><a href="services.html">Services</a></li>
keep doing that for all the pages.

I see the <div id="nav"> section in the index.html, but there's no section that even comes close to the <li class="important">.

Just after the <div id="nav"> is the <a href ...> to the first tab.

Hmmm. Any other thoughts? Your comment sounded like it was going to be the winner and solution to the problem...

Ok now you got me what is a blob?
When you put your mouse over about us the font just gets dark

I think I caused the problem in the template by moving the navigation section.
UGH! Sorry for the confusion...that's the problem with us newbies in this css stuff.
I really appreciate your looking at it and making a suggestion. I think I've fixed it. Now I just need to plow through the css file to see if I can understand it.

Ok keep plowing
