Nav items: "Home" will go white to dark; but won't stay dark when on page; "About" stays dark all the time. Suggestions?

The nav bar was working fine, but then I started playing around with it and other aspects of the site to change it to a different concept. Somehow, I messed up the nav bar. If I hover over "Home," it will turn from white to dark. If I click on it, it goes to the page, but returns to white, so it makes it appear that I'm not on the Home page. The nav item, "About" stays dark all the time, no matter if I hover, am on the page, or off of it. https://w.trhou.se/7qp9nhjneu

Hi, Bobby. It looks like the about page has the class selected on both your index and about pages, which is why the about link is always dark. You'll have to move the selected class to the index link on the index page.

Like a charm, Ryan! thank you. Nick keeps telling me in the videos to "play around with the code." I listen and I get myself into trouble!! Ha! Seriously, thanks very much. Bobby
