Setting up nav with template

Question

Someone told me that you can set up the main navigation without making it editable. As it is, I make the div editable so that I can add "current" to the respective pages. I end up having to go in and change the nav on every page if I make a mistake or have to update something. Is there a way to add "current" to each page w/o making the main nav editable.

Answer 1

What am I missing?  It won't work.
Code:
In head:
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="style" -->
<style type="text/css">
a#link1{color:#990000;}
</style>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
In HTML:
<div id="navcontainer">
          <ul id="navlist">
          <li><a href="index.html" id="link1">HOME</a></li>
          <li><a href="schedulefees/index.html" id="link2">SCHEDULE/FEES</a></li>
          <li><a href="scheduleonline/index.html" id="link3">SIGN UP ONLINE</a></li>
          <li><a href="about/index.html" id="link4">INSTRUCTORS</a></li>
          <li><a href="pilatesteachertraining/index.html" id="link5">TEACHER TRAINING</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html" id="link6">CONTACT</a></li>
          <li><a href="testimonials.html" class="last" id="link7">TESTIMONIALS</a></li>
      </ul>
  </div>
