OPTION #1
Here is a working example.
This one is the easiest and most basic of the three options listed. If you have a small site (1 to 5 pages) and your running .html extensions, and/or you don't want or need to use PHP Includes, then this method is the one for you!

#nav {
width:150px;
list-style:none;
margin:150px auto;
}
#nav a {
color:black;
text-decoration:none;
}
#nav a:active, #nav a:focus, #nav a:hover {
color:red;
}
a#current {
color:red;
}
a#current:active, a#current:focus, a#current:hover {
color:blue;
}
width:150px;
list-style:none;
margin:150px auto;
}
#nav a {
color:black;
text-decoration:none;
}
#nav a:active, #nav a:focus, #nav a:hover {
color:red;
}
a#current {
color:red;
}
a#current:active, a#current:focus, a#current:hover {
color:blue;
}

OPTION #2
Here is a working example.
If you use, or want to use PHP Includes on your website, then the simple code shone above will not suffice. Therefore, you'll need to get a little more creative and use this method (Option #2) or the next method (Option #3) instead. This method shone here, is usually my code of choice for the job at hand!

OPTION #3
Here is a working example.
And the final way of going about highlighting the current page's navigation link is to use a bit of PHP. A little explanation: This bit here in bold (which tells the PHP code which page your currently on) can be placed just about anywhere on the page, that is, as long as it's sitting above the #nav using it. In this case, and partly for simplicity purposes, I just placed it inside the body tag as you can see. However, and unless proven otherwise, I think I like it there! And I'd like to thank Ben Falk and John Beatrice for helping me to get this last one working.
