[wp-testers] adding class to first menu item when using wp_nav_menu()?

[John O'Nolan]

As Nacin said, you can add custom classes to any menu item within the  
new menus screen.

Under the Screen Options tab, enable the check box for custom CSS and  
hey presto. Add a custom class to the first, second, last, which ever  
menu item you like.
