Highlighting Archives in main Nav using is_page

Hi,

I currently have a basic navigation for a site which highlights the current page as follows:

<ul id="nav" role="navigation">

<li<?php if ( is_page('home')  ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li<?php if ( is_page('about') ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="/about/">About</a></li>
<li<?php if ( is_page('work') ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="/work/">Work</a></li>
<li<?php if ( is_page('blog') ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="/blog/">Blog</a></li>
<li<?php if ( is_page('contact') ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="/contact/">Contact</a></li>
</ul>

However when i’m in archives i’d still like the link to the blog section to be highlighted. Is it possible to add a condition or an array to the above?

`<ul id=”nav” role=”navigation”>

• Home
• About
• Work

<li class=”current”>Blog

• Contact

‘

Basically looking for the above to be generated when i’m viewing archies.

Tia
