Creating an image based navigation – need help with a function

  • Hello, I’m trying to determine the best to to make an image (navigation) ‘currentstate’ based on the category. It seems to fail when I try to add is_page(‘news’). News being my Posts page. I also tried to call News by its page id which didn’t work either.

    What is the page id for the Posts page?
    What category or id do I use for posts?

    Sorry about the indenting.

    <!-- determines background image -->
