I am reposting for the sake of visual clarity, I did not realize that all
the images would be scrubbed. Sorry for the visual overload.
---------
When I go to my client's website at bartosandrini.com the Home tab is not highlighted, in fact a completely different tab, Criminal/Traffic, is highlighted. This problem showed up after one of my client's blog editors selected "Promoted to front page" in the Publishing options section.
In Site Configuration > Site Information (or /admin/settings/site-information)
Default front page: http://bartosandrini.com/ node
In the footer section on the same page and I am using <a href="/"><u>Home</u></a> as a link
In Site Building > Menus > Primary Links (or /admin/build/menu/item/1964/edit)
Menu settings Path: <front>
Menu link title: Home
In Site Building > Blocks after selecting configure (or /admin/build/block/configure/views/rotor-block_1)
Page specific visibility settings Show on only the listed pages. <front>
This problem first occurred in January and below is a link to the advice I received. Initially, this worked for me. This advice does not work now and I really don't know what to do or how to troubleshoot this.
Here is the link: http://drupal.org/node/678758 http://drupal.org/node/678758
Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated!

Setting your default front page to "node" makes the front page of the site load a list of all nodes that are "promoted to front page."
This is probably not what you want. You want instead the content of http://bartosandrini.com/home to appear as the front page of the site.
http://bartosandrini.com/home is node 33. Therefore under /admin/settings/site-information, make the default front page this: node/33.
Then, in your primary links, set the path of the "Home" item to <front>.

Thanks for clarifying how using "node" behaves; I presumed this even though the previous advice I received in the forum said to use it anyway. I was too much of a newbie to disagree yet.
The original problem about highlighting still exists. My active menu link, when I am at the root of the website, is not highlighted.
So I am digging into the theme looking for overrides and active-trail. All I found was this in my stylesheet.css by TopNotchThemes.
#primary-menu ul.menu li.active-trail { background: #ad462b; color: #fff; }
#primary-menu ul.menu li.active-trail a { background: #ad462b; color: #fff; }
and then, of course, the usual:
#primary-menu ul.menu li.active a, with a background color and font color
I am going to try to comment out the sections with active-trail in them and see what happens.
Do you have any other ideas about how to solve this?
The actions of commenting the CSS will indeed prevent the background-color attribute from being rendered. However it's not *solving* the problem, which is that "active-trail" is activated for the wrong path.
I am guessing that there are residual quirks due to the advice of http://drupal.org/node/678758. Perhaps duplicate/conflicting aliases. Short of manually inspecting the menu tables in the database, you might try deleting all related paths/aliases and menu items and starting over again.
