Hey Tim, Did you ever get this resolved?

Check the href lines of code in main.twig carefully for any typos:

      <a href="{{ baseUrl() }}" class="selected">About</a>
      <a href="{{ siteUrl('/contact') }}">Contact</a>

Also make sure this line of code is available in in your index.php, as this allows you to reference the 4 routing helpers.

$view->parserExtensions = array(
    new \Slim\Views\TwigExtension(),
);
